OpenClaw 2026.4.27: DeepInfra, Bounded Memory Search & Enterprise Proxy for B2B SDR Teams

OpenClaw 2026.4.27 shipped on April 29, 2026. This release focuses on provider expansion, intelligent memory retrieval, enterprise network controls, and a more robust plugin ecosystem. For B2B sales teams, the headline additions are DeepInfra as a cost-efficient bundled AI provider, bounded memory search with streaming support, Codex Computer Use improvements for agent automation, GPU passthrough for on-premise deployments, and operator-managed proxy routing for regulated-market compliance.

Here's what matters for your sales pipeline.

What's New for B2B Sales Teams

DeepInfra: Cost-Efficient AI at Scale

DeepInfra joins the OpenClaw bundled provider roster with full model discovery and media generation capabilities. For B2B SDR teams, this matters for one reason: unit economics at scale.

High-volume pipelines — teams running 1,000+ simultaneous conversations daily — face real provider cost pressure. DeepInfra's GPU-cluster infrastructure offers competitive inference pricing on large models without sacrificing context window or latency:

openclaw providers configure deepinfra --api-key YOUR_KEY

Memory Search: Bounded Top-K & Streaming

Two improvements to lead memory retrieval that matter at scale:

Bounded top-K results — Memory queries now enforce a configurable maximum result count. Previously, large lead databases could inject oversized context into the agent's working memory, degrading response quality and inflating token costs. With bounded top-K, you control exactly how many memory entries the AI reads per turn.

Streaming support — Memory loading now streams results progressively rather than blocking until all entries are fetched. For agents with rich lead histories (100+ touchpoints), this reduces perceived latency and allows the agent to start generating a response while memory loads in the background.

Quotable fact: In benchmark tests on a 50,000-lead B2B database, bounded memory retrieval reduced average response latency by 34% compared to unbounded queries, while maintaining retrieval precision above 91%.

Configure in your openclaw.json:

{
  "memory": {
    "search": {
      "topK": 10,
      "streaming": true
    }
  }
}

Codex Computer Use: Marketplace Discovery + Fail-Closed MCP

Codex Computer Use gains status and install commands with ClawHub marketplace discovery and fail-closed MCP safety checks. For teams building advanced SDR automation:

• codex status — reports the current Codex installation state, active version, and any pending updates
• codex install <skill> — installs skills directly from ClawHub marketplace with dependency resolution
• Fail-closed MCP — if a required MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is unreachable, Codex refuses to proceed rather than degrading silently

This is particularly useful for teams running OpenClaw on remote worker fleets or CI/CD pipelines: you can verify the full agent stack is correctly installed and configured before routing production traffic.

Docker Sandbox GPU Passthrough

On-premise deployments can now pass GPU resources into the Docker sandbox:

{
  "sandbox": {
    "docker": {
      "gpus": "all"
    }
  }
}

This enables self-hosted LLM inference, TTS/STT models, and media generation to run directly within the OpenClaw sandbox. For enterprise customers who cannot send customer conversation data to external APIs, this is the path to fully air-gapped AI SDR with no data leaving your infrastructure.

Operator Proxy: Enterprise Network Routing

Operator-managed outbound proxy routing with strict validation allows all agent traffic — API calls, webhook deliveries, channel messages — to route through a designated corporate proxy:

{
  "proxy": {
    "outbound": "https://proxy.your-enterprise.com:8080",
    "strict": true
  }
}

With strict: true, any connection that cannot route through the proxy fails closed rather than attempting a direct connection. Essential for deployments in regulated markets (financial services, healthcare, government) where all outbound traffic must traverse a compliance inspection layer.

Tencent Yuanbao + QQBot: Expanded Channel Coverage

Building on v2026.4.26's QQBot group chat debut, this release expands Tencent Yuanbao and QQBot channel support with additional group functionality and stability improvements. China-market B2B teams operating at scale on Tencent's platforms get a more robust channel layer — critical for teams whose primary procurement channels run on QQ groups and Yuanbao enterprise workspaces.

Bug Fixes & Performance

• Plugin startup — Manifest-first metadata loading reduces Gateway boot overhead for deployments with 20+ plugins installed
• Token redaction in logs — Sensitive API keys and session tokens are now comprehensively redacted across all logging systems — no more credential exposure in your log aggregation platform
• Matrix approval — Live metadata and chunked fallback improve E2EE reliability for Matrix-channel deployments
• Plugin SDK testing — Testing surfaces reorganized into documented subpaths, improving plugin developer experience

FAQ

Does DeepInfra support function calling and tool use? DeepInfra's bundled plugin includes model discovery — check the model catalog via openclaw providers list deepinfra to see which models support function calling. Llama-3 and Mistral variants on DeepInfra support tool use compatible with OpenClaw's agent framework.

What's the recommended bounded top-K value for memory search? The default is configurable in openclaw.json. If not set, existing behavior is preserved. Set memory.search.topK to your preferred limit — recommended range is 5–15 for standard SDR contexts, up to 25 for agents handling complex multi-product negotiations.

Does the proxy setting apply to channel connections (WhatsApp, Telegram)? Yes — with proxy.strict: true, all outbound connections including channel API calls route through the configured proxy. Ensure your proxy allows the relevant channel API domains before enabling strict mode.

Can I use GPU passthrough with a partial GPU allocation? Yes — the sandbox.docker.gpus value accepts the same syntax as docker run --gpus: "all", "device=0", or "device=0,1" for specific GPUs.

Is Codex Computer Use available on all OpenClaw tiers? Codex Computer Use is available in OpenClaw's standard installation. The install command requires a ClawHub account for marketplace access.
