New models and providers: add Featherless, Claude Sonnet 5 and Mythos 5, Meta Muse Spark 1.1, and ClawRouter; make GPT-5.6 the new-setup default with /think ultra for Sol and Terra plus max for Luna, honor Z.AI max, and refresh model availability after OAuth renewal. (#101092, #98254, #101238, #102873, #103070, #103163, #99658, #99759, #98333, #103581, #98021, #104778, #102289) Thanks @vincentkoc, @vortexopenclaw, @HamidShojanazeri, @davemorin, @Solvely-Colin,...
More capable channel control: Slack relay mode, native Mattermost /oc_queue, and per-DM model overrides make channel operations easier to automate and tune. (#94707, #95546, #95120) Thanks @sjf-oa, @amknight, @xydigit-zt, @thomaszta, and @gandalf-at-lerian.
Richer operator workflows:openclaw agent --message-file and the RAFT CLI wake bridge add practical file-driven and remote wake-up paths. (#93351, #95497) Thanks @ooiuuii and @vincentkoc.

Automatic fast mode for talks: OpenClaw can enable fast mode for short conversational turns, then return to normal mode for longer runs with bounded fallback and delivery behavior. (#85104) Thanks @alexph-dev and @vincentkoc.
More reliable model routing: Zai model synthesis, GLM overload failover, and native reasoning-level selection now follow the active model catalog more consistently. (#94461, #93241, #94067, #94136) Thanks @Pandah97, @chrysb, @0xghost42, @zhengli0922,...
Telegram and WhatsApp channel delivery are richer and less brittle: Telegram can send structured rich text with tables, lists, expandable blockquotes, preserved intentional line breaks, prompt-preserving CLI backend delivery, retired native draft migration, and safer rich-media boundaries, while WhatsApp now honors configured ACP bindings. (#92679, #93164, #84082, #89421, #92513) Thanks @obviyus, @jzakirov, @spacegeologist, and @TurboTheTurtle.
