On March 9, 2026, the stable version 3.8 of OpenClaw (Lobster), an open-source AI agent framework, was launched in a hurry, less than 24 hours after the release of version 3.7. The project has gained over 280,000 GitHub stars in 4 months, used by more than 100,000 teams worldwide, including tech giants like Google and Microsoft. This iteration triggered global developers to adapt overnight, making "raising lobsters" a viral tech term. Insiders believe AI agent competition will shift to community ecosystem competition.
