OPENCLAW

OpenClaw went from an unlisted repo created on November 24, 2025 to more than 100,000 stars in under two weeks, and stood at 387,250 stars as of August 23, 2026 - the near-vertical line WIRED described as a rocket launch. Here is how that chart happened, and where the curve stands now.

Prime Intellect open-sourced Prime Agent on August 5, 2026. It gives the model exactly one tool - a persistent IPython kernel - and lets the harness rewrite its own prompts, skills, memory, and sub-agents mid-run. Here is how it works, what the benchmarks actually show, a full provider and model guide, and an honest comparison to Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, and Pi.

A companion guide to the Composio CLI video: one command-line layer that lets Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, and other agent harnesses search, authenticate, and execute tools across 1,000+ apps.
