OpenAI Hires OpenClaw Founder to Develop Multi-Agent Capabilities

The news comes after Steinberger announced that he had “a lot of amazing ideas” about getting AI agents to interact with each other, citing a future where multi-agent systems will be essential to OpenAI’s offerings. As the founder of OpenClaw, previously known as Moltbot and Clawdbot, Steinberger brought significant attention to the company earlier this year. The project’s rapid rise was accompanied by a series of challenges, including a recent discovery of over 400 malicious skills on the platform. Despite these obstacles, Steinberger’s expertise in multi-agent systems will likely play a crucial role in shaping OpenAI’s future product developments.
