Golden Finance reported that in the past year, OpenAI has renewed its interest in robots: investing in startups developing robotic hardware and software, such as Figure and Physical Intelligence, and restarting an internal robotics software team that was disbanded four years ago. Now, OpenAI may take this interest to a new level. According to two people directly familiar with the discussions, the company has recently considered developing a humanoid robot. However, don't get too excited, as one person familiar with the matter indicated: any potential humanoid robot seems to be a lower priority for OpenAI compared to many of its other technologies and products, such as its acclaimed reasoning models and agents that can help automate various software engineering and analytics tasks. Nevertheless, the fact that OpenAI is even considering developing humanoid robots highlights its growing ambitions to venture into areas ranging from search engines and web browsers to server chips and data center planning.
