OpenClaw 2.0 launches with shared sessions; local LLMs gain enterprise traction

OpenClaw has released version 2.0, a significant update that simplifies setup by detecting existing subscriptions and local models, and integrates various tools like files, git, and terminals around the chat interface. The new version also introduces shared cloud sessions, allowing multiple users to collaborate on agent tasks, though the founder notes local coding harnesses are now considered outdated. Concurrently, the trend towards local LLM deployment is gaining traction, with users like Kevin Lewis demonstrating cost-effective and reliable agent workflows on personal hardware, reserving cloud APIs for tasks requiring frontier models.
