The father of OpenClaw joins OpenAI.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on February 16 that OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger will join OpenAI to focus on advancing the research and development of the next generation of personal intelligent agents, "expected to soon become the core of our products." Altman pledged that OpenClaw will exist as an open-source project within the foundation, and OpenAI will continue to support it. The future will be highly multi-agent oriented, and supporting open-source is an important part of OpenAI's efforts to achieve this goal.
