OpenClaw's iOS and Android apps are companion nodes, not standalone chatbots. Each phone pairs to a self-hosted Gateway over WebSocket. This adds device hardware — camera, location, voice, and Canvas — to a local-first AI agent. Here is the architecture, the capabilities, and the trade-offs for builders.

Gradium released two real-time speech translation models, stt-translate and s2s-translate, covering English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese across 20 language pairs. The models collapse the standard three-model cascade into two, pairing single-pass transcription-and-translation with a Gradium TTS stage over one duplex WebSocket. Gradium reports a better accuracy-latency tradeoff than gpt-realtime-translate and gemini-3.5-live-translate, plus output voice selection and cloning.
