If you've been watching the releases page, you'll see the pace is fast. Multiple releases landed per week in February .
With Steinberger at OpenAI, you benefit from his early access to new models and research. Security hardening is a current focus. Android support is actively improving. The plugin ecosystem continues to expand.
Community governance is the big unknown. The maintainer council is established but the formal governance rules are still being written. You should watch the project's official channels for updates on how decisions will be made going forward.
The bottom line for you: OpenClaw is more actively developed and better backed. The code is still yours to run and host yourself.
