OpenClaw v2026.3.24: Gateway Adds OpenAI API Compatible Endpoint, Microsoft Teams Migration to Official SDK

According to 1M AI News monitoring, the open-source AI assistant OpenClaw (Lobster) has released version v2026.3.24. The Gateway has added /v1/models and /v1/embeddings endpoints, and now supports forwarding explicit model specification parameters in /v1/chat/completions and /v1/responses. Third-party clients using the OpenAI API format and RAG applications can directly connect to the OpenClaw Gateway.

Microsoft Teams channel has migrated to the official SDK, adding streaming 1:1 replies, welcome cards and prompt suggestions, feedback mechanisms, typing indicators, and native AI tags. It also supports editing and deleting sent messages. Other major updates include:

1. Built-in Skills now feature one-click installation guides, with CLI and control panel automatically prompting for installation when dependencies are missing.
2. Added --container parameter to support executing OpenClaw commands inside Docker or Podman containers.
3. Agent /tools now displays currently available tools, with the control panel adding a real-time availability status panel.
4. Slack interaction replies now restore rich text formatting, supporting automatic rendering of footer options as buttons or dropdown menus.
5. Discord supports LLM automatically generating thread titles.
6. The minimum Node.js version has been lowered to 22.14+, with Node 24 still recommended.

Security fixes in this version include patching a vulnerability that bypassed sandbox media directory restrictions via mediaUrl/fileUrl aliases, and fixing an issue where the Agent session might not correctly restore to the corresponding Telegram topic or Slack thread after Gateway restart.
