OpenClaw 2026.4.15: Claude Opus 4.7 Default, Gemini TTS, Model Auth Dashboard

OpenClaw 2026.4.15 ships with Claude Opus 4.7 as the default Anthropic model, Gemini-powered text-to-speech, and a beautiful new Model Auth dashboard in the Control UI.

Highlights

🤖 Claude Opus 4.7 Default

All Anthropic selections, opus aliases, Claude CLI defaults, and bundled image understanding now default to Claude Opus 4.7 — Anthropic’s most capable model.

🔊 Gemini Text-to-Speech

The bundled google plugin now supports Gemini TTS with voice selection, WAV reply output, and PCM telephony output. Your agent can now speak using Google’s latest voice AI.

📊 Model Auth Status Dashboard

The Control UI now shows a Model Auth status card with OAuth token health and provider rate-limit pressure at a glance. You’ll see attention callouts when OAuth tokens are expiring or expired.

🧠 Memory Upgrades

• LanceDB Cloud Storage — Memory indexes can now run on remote object storage
• GitHub Copilot Embeddings — New embedding provider for memory search via Copilot
• Dreaming Storage — Dream phases now go to memory/dreaming/{phase}/YYYY-MM-DD.md instead of polluting daily notes

⚡ Leaner Local Models

New experimental localModelLean mode drops heavyweight tools like browser, cron, and message for weaker local-model setups, reducing prompt size significantly.

Key Fixes

• Tool-name collision protection — client tools can no longer inherit built-in tool trust
• WhatsApp web-session auth persistence hardened
• Cron announce delivery no longer leaks NO_REPLY text
• Skills snapshot properly invalidated when config changes
