OpenAI 二次解散独立机器人团队，研究员分流至其他部门
OpenAI reassigns robotics researchers to other teams as general-purpose models might make specialized robotics AI unnecessary
OpenAI 又把机器人团队拆了，理由是 GPT-6 Astra 这类通用模型能直接操控机器人。对比它 2021 年那次解散，这次的关键区别在于通用模型真的能落地了。做具身智能和机器人方向的人应该看看，这信号挺关键的。
OpenAI 第二次解散独立机器人团队，研究人员被重新分配到其他团队。公司解释称，GPT-6 Astra 等通用模型已能直接控制机器人，专用机器人 AI 团队失去存在必要。
OpenAI 强调这次调整并非因为缺乏数据，而是组织策略变化。公司对外将此举描述为加速机器人方向研发的一种方式。
此前 OpenAI 在 2021 年前后也曾解散过一次机器人团队。
OpenAI reassigns robotics researchers to other teams as general-purpose models might make specialized robotics AI unnecessary
OpenAI is dissolving its standalone robotics team for the second time, but not because it lacks data. General-purpose models like GPT-6 Astra can apparently control robots directly, making a dedicated unit unnecessary. The researchers are being redistributed across other teams in what the company frames as a way to accelerate its robotics efforts.
