OpenAI has reorganized its embodied intelligence team.
The story so far
OpenAI has reorganized its embodied intelligence team, integrating researchers into the core research team, while the application of robots and hardware team has been transferred to a larger application department. The hope is to directly use general AI like GPT-6 Astra for some robot tasks, making them the 'brain' of the robots. Astra achieved a 74.8% success rate in simulated operation tests, higher than the 51.0% of dedicated models. However, using general models to fully support robots still faces practical challenges, such as limitations in operating speed and cloud connectivity requirements, as well as the value of on-site experience and data accumulated by robot companies.

- The DecoderOpenAI has reassigned robotics researchers to other teams as general models may make dedicated robotics AI unnecessary
OpenAI has reorganized its robotics team again, assigning researchers to other departments instead of dissolving the team. Robotics researchers will join the main research team led by Chief Research Officer Mark Chen, while the application robotics hardware team will join Greg Brockman's application department.
- ITHome · AIOpenAI reorganizes its embodied intelligence team, making GPT-6 Astra and other general AI the 'brain' for robots.
OpenAI has disbanded its independent robotics team and transferred relevant personnel to other company departments, integrating robotics researchers into the core research team, and moving the robotics and hardware team to a larger application department. OpenAI aims to directly use general models like GPT-6 Astra for some robotics tasks, making them the 'brain' of the robots. Astra achieved a 74.8% success rate in simulated operational tests.
