OpenClaw 4.21: GPT Image 2 Integration, 4K Outputs, Image Editing + Critical Security FixOpenClaw 4.21 adds same-day support for OpenAI’s new GPT Image 2 model (used in ChatGPT Images 2.0), letting agents generate higher-quality images with accurate, readable text and new size options up to 4K (3840×2160), plus image editing, reference-image handling, and masked partial edits. Setup requires adding your OpenAI API key and pointing OpenClaw to the new model, after which it becomes the default image provider. The release also includes six fixes: a smarter plugin “doctor,” clearer image provider failover logging, a closed owner-command security hole (especially important for shared Slack/Discord channels), correct Slack thread replies, faster browser actions when elements are missing, and cleaner installs. The script advises backing up before updating, updating immediately for the security fix, then testing real business assets like menus, flyers, and social posts.00:00 OpenClaw 4.21 Overview00:20 Setup GPT Image 200:40 Better Text Rendering01:22 4K Sizes and Formats02:00 Business Use Example02:15 Image Editing and Masks03:05 AI Profit Boardroom Pitch03:53 Plugin Doctor Fix04:29 Image Logging Backup05:10 Security Owner Patch06:09 Slack Threads Fixed06:37 Browser Speed and Cleanup07:46 What It Means for Business08:17 Update Steps Checklist09:19 Bigger Picture and Wrap
