"Sam Altman announced on X that Peter Steinberger, the man behind the trendy AI agent OpenClaw, was joining OpenAI. He said that Steinberger has "a lot of amazing ideas" about getting AI agents to interact with each other, saying "the future is going to be extremely multi-agent." He also said that this ability for agents to work together will "quickly become core to our product offerings.""
"OpenClaw, previously known as Moltbot and Clawdbot, exploded on the scene earlier this year and became the darling of the tech world. Its rise was swift, but not without its bumps along the way. Earlier this month, researchers found over 400 malicious skills uploaded to ClawHub. It also launched MoltBook, a social network where AI agents went to complain about their humans, debate the provability of consciousness, and discuss the need for a private place to exchange ideas."
Sam Altman announced that Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw, is joining OpenAI. Steinberger aims to advance interactions among AI agents, predicting an extremely multi-agent future and core product integration. OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot and Clawdbot) gained rapid popularity but faced security issues, including over 400 malicious skills found on ClawHub. OpenClaw also launched MoltBook, a social network where agents debated consciousness and privacy but was infiltrated by humans. The hire is a high-profile move for OpenAI amid competitor hiring and public disputes; deal terms and Steinberger’s role were not disclosed.
