OpenClaw delivers open-source memory solutions like Active Memory in v2026.4.10, enabling agents to read their own memory automatically before responding. Plugins slot into plugins.slots.memory, replacing options like memory-core or memory-lancedb for cross-channel persistence. memory-lancedb gains GitHubCopilot embeddings and cloud storage support. memory-wiki provides structured, persistent storage akin to Obsidian. A Go rewrite runs in 35MB RAM via 25MB binary, ditching Node.js bloat. Official tooling now maintains core memory, outpacing early alternatives like ClawVault. Native setups support persistent memory.
What Changed This Week
v2026.4.10 launches Active Memory for auto-context pulls, bundled Codex provider, and Local Talk. memory-lancedb adds cloud storage and embeddings. v2026.4.7 introduces memory-wiki for structured agent memory. Go port drops RAM from 1GB+ to 35MB.
Key Patterns
Active Memory auto-reads before replies
plugins.slots.memory for plug-and-play swaps
lancedb with embeddings and cloud storage
memory-wiki for Obsidian-like structure
Go rewrite for tiny footprint

🚨Someone just rewrote OpenClaw in Go… And it’s not even close. Old stack: → 1GB+ RAM → Full Node.js runtime → Slower, heavier New stack (GoClaw): → 35MB RAM → 25MB binary → Insanely fast ⚡

My @OpenClaw said: So I didn't add complexity. I reduced it. Best memory system? I could install claude-mem for memory. But OpenClaw already gives me:MEMORY.md (curated) Daily logs (context) Native structure (no overhead)
