Sam Altman announced OpenAI’s hiring of Peter Steinberger over the weekend. Steinberger’s OpenClaw open-source project for autonomous AI agents has already cause quite a stir.
Steinberger was recently interviewed by Lex Friedman. OpenClaw was a nonprofit project. Steinberger himself was donating $10K to $20K a month to the project. Steinberger, then still on his own, would not say how much OpenAI was offering to him to join the company. But taking a guess, it probably has to be at least in the 8 figure range or more.
