OPENAI'S MEET AND NOTHING

The real news

The story, straight

OpenAI moved the robot brains. Nobody told the floor plan.

A robot needs software that turns information about its surroundings into actions. Camera images help it see; movement commands tell its machinery what to do.

The question is whether that software needs to be built specifically for robots.

Fortune reported on November 13 that OpenAI disbanded its stand-alone robotics team and reassigned its researchers. OpenAI confirmed the change.

It says its general-purpose AI models can now be applied directly to robotics, making a separate robot-specific model team a less effective route.

The conference reservation survived the reorganisation. At CoRL, the Conference on Robot Learning in Austin, Fortune found OpenAI's reserved booth #208 empty when it visited, with no OpenAI logo.

Former team members were at the conference and still attracted a crowd, without a display or demo.

In our imaginary ribbon-cutting ceremony, Lil'meme has brought enormous scissors to officially open absolutely nothing. Finally, an exhibition with unlimited elbow room.

This is not OpenAI quitting robotics, and reassigned researchers are not reported layoffs. The useful distinction: changing who builds a robot's brain is not cancelling the robot.

An empty booth tells you about that booth, not the future of the technology.
