OpenAI has talked about building a humanoid robot

On December 25th, according to The Information, over the past year, OpenAI has renewed its interest in robotics: investing in startups that develop robotics hardware and software, such as Figure and Physical Intelligence, and rebooting an in-house robotics software team that was disbanded four years ago. Now, OpenAI may take that interest to a new level. The company recently considered developing a humanoid robot, according to two people with direct knowledge of the discussions. Don't get too excited, though, one of the people said: Any potential humanoid robot appears to be a lower priority for OpenAI than many of its other technologies and products, such as its much-lauded inference model and agents that can help automate various software engineering and analysis tasks. However, the fact that OpenAI is even considering developing humanoid robots highlights its growing ambitions to dabble in everything from search and web browsers to server chips and data center planning.
