OpenClaw 5.16 Beta: Groq Login (No API Key) + Silent Telegram Group Mode + Faster WorkflowsOpenClaw 5.16 arrives on GitHub as a pre-release beta with major upgrades: Groq can now be used via a Super Groq subscription login without an API key or extra billing, and the Telegram agent gains a “silent group” mode that listens to all messages to build context but only speaks when prompted. The script also highlights improvements like chaining scheduled tasks with a blocking wait/timeout, faster skill loading via caching, a Chinese (simplified/traditional) setup wizard, more reliable Discord reconnections, fixes for Matrix encrypted rooms, dashboard context-window estimation for local models, and a compaction bug fix to prevent repeated summarization. It promotes an “agentic OS” in the AI Profit Boardroom for managing OpenClaw, Claude, and Hermes with shared memory from one dashboard, and advises caution when testing the beta by backing up first and using the beta update channel with rollback options.00:00 Beta Update Overview01:03 Groq Login No Key02:09 Silent Telegram Groups03:37 Agentic OS Dashboard04:25 Workflow Speed Fixes06:10 Why Shared Memory Wins06:53 Safe Beta Upgrade Steps07:30 Final Takeaways Invite
