OpenClaw, the open-source agent framework associated with the early “autonomous AI” hype cycle, has released version 2.0, according to Decrypt. The update is described as the project’s biggest release so far and comes after a two-month wait. Decrypt reported that the launch happened almost by accident, while positioning the new version as a step toward enterprise adoption. The report also compares OpenClaw 2.0 with Hermes, another framework in the agent ecosystem. The available information does not detail the individual features or technical changes included in the release, but the update marks a significant development for OpenClaw and its effort to expand beyond its earlier role in the autonomous-AI discussion. Open-source agent frameworks are designed to support software capable of carrying out tasks with limited direct user intervention, although the supplied report does not provide performance comparisons or adoption figures for either OpenClaw 2.0 or Hermes.
