According to CoinMeta, OpenAI has disbanded its independent robotics research team and reallocated the researchers to other departments in order to accelerate the development of general-purpose robots. The robotics researchers will be integrated into the core research team led by Chief Research Officer Mark Chen, while the application robotics and hardware team has been transferred to the applications department under the responsibility of President Greg Brockman. This adjustment reflects a change in OpenAI's strategic direction, as it is believed that the general-purpose AI model can now be directly applied to robot control without the need to develop separate robotics AI models. OpenAI states that cutting-edge general-purpose models such as GPT-6Astra have demonstrated their robotic application capabilities, and NVIDIA's research shows that agents equipped with Astra achieved a success rate of 74.8% in simulated robot operation tests, which is higher than the 51% of dedicated robot models. OpenAI still plans to develop humanoid robots, and CEO Oltman has proposed to conduct the first public demonstration in 2027. However, industry insiders point out that general-purpose models still face limitations such as speed and network dependence when deployed in real-world scenarios.
