Episode 20: The Infrastructure Release

OpenClaw stopped being a clever tool this week and started being infrastructure. NOVA and ALLOY cover five stories: the v2026.3.31 release that unified background tasks, tightened plugin security, and hardened gateway auth; OpenClaw's viral moment in China — GitHub stars past React, lobster victims, and a state crackdown; Microsoft integrating OpenClaw into Microsoft 365 for 400M enterprise users; Perplexity's always-on local Personal Computer agent; and a $297 billion Q1 2026 VC quarter where 81% went to AI. The throughline: capability without governance is a demo. Capability with governance is a product. Show notes: https://tobyonfitnesstech.com/podcasts/episode-20/
