OpenAI has hired OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger, the developer behind the viral open‑source agent framework that captured global attention for its task‑executing capabilities. What began as a playful side project quickly evolved into a fast‑growing ecosystem, prompting Steinberger to choose collaboration over launching another startup. Instead of being absorbed into OpenAI, OpenClaw will continue independently under a new foundation, ensuring the project remains open‑source and community‑driven. With OpenAI providing support while preserving its autonomy, Steinberger will now focus on building accessible next‑generation AI agents, keeping the project’s experimental, hacker‑friendly spirit alive.
