OpenClaw Founder Steinberger Joins OpenAI
Peter Steinberger, the developer behind the viral AI assistant OpenClaw, is joining OpenAI to help shape the company's next generation of personal AI agents.
Details:
Steinberger created the assistant that evolved from Clawdbot to Moltbot and ultimately OpenClaw, gaining attention for positioning itself as the "AI that actually does things," handling tasks like scheduling, travel booking, and even interacting with other AI assistants.
He writes in his blog that he spoke to several large AI labs in San Francisco but ultimately chose OpenAI because they “shared the same vision.”
Sam Altman said that Steinberger has "a lot of amazing ideas" about getting AI agents to interact with each other, saying "the future is going to be extremely multi-agent."
He also added that this ability for agents to work together will “quickly become core to our product offerings.”
It's not clear how much Steinberger is getting paid or what his title might be, but his work will focus on advancing personal agent technology.
OpenClaw itself will continue as an open-source project in a foundation supported by OpenAI.

OpenAI Removes Five Models from ChatGPT
OpenAI has discontinued access to five legacy ChatGPT models, with GPT-4o among the most notable removals.
Details:
GPT-4o has faced criticism and legal challenges tied to cases involving harmful user interactions, delusional responses, and AI psychosis. It is known for being OpenAI's most sycophantic model.
Alongside GPT-4o, the company removed GPT-5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and o4-mini, as part of a broader cleanup of legacy systems.
OpenAI had originally planned to retire GPT-4o when GPT-5 launched, but user backlash led the company to temporarily keep it available for paid subscribers.
According to OpenAI, only a small fraction (0.1%) of users still rely on GPT-4o, but given the platform’s scale, that percentage still represents hundreds of thousands of people.
Online communities have pushed back against the removal, with some users describing strong attachments to the model and arguing it offers a distinct interaction style compared with newer systems.

This new family of large language models is designed to better interpret visual information such as documents, charts, tables, and video. The top-tier Seed 2.0 Pro version matches and even beats models like GPT-5.2 and Opus 4.5 on several benchmarks, according to the company.
This release joins the recent launch of Seedance 2.0 video model, which went viral on U.S. social media platforms last week, and Seedream 5.0 for images.
Unlike many Chinese peers that open-source their systems, ByteDance is keeping these models proprietary and distributing them through its own apps and cloud platforms.
Simile has secured $100 million in new funding to build AI systems designed to predict how people behave.
The round was led by Index Ventures with participation from Bain Capital Ventures, Hanabi Capital and others, alongside backing from AI figures like Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy.
The Pentagon is pressing major AI firms, including Anthropic, to allow unrestricted use of their models for all lawful military purposes, but Anthropic is pushing back.
The standoff has put the company’s roughly $200 million Pentagon contract at risk as talks with the Defense Department continue.
David Greene has filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming the male AI podcast voice in NotebookLM closely imitates his speech patterns, cadence, and signature filler words.
Greene says listeners began contacting him about the resemblance, prompting legal action over what he views as misuse of his vocal identity. Google disputes the claim, stating the voice comes from a paid actor and is unrelated to Greene.
Meta is reportedly considering adding a facial recognition feature to its smart glasses that would identify people and surface information through its built-in AI assistant.
The tool, internally called “Name Tag,” has raised safety and privacy concerns inside the company, and plans remain under review.
That’s a wrap!
