�� OpenAI acquires OpenClaw and hires its creator
OpenAI has absorbed the OpenClaw project and brought its creator, Peter Steinberg, into the company. He will lead development of the next generation of AI agents. Sam Altman called him a genius and said his ideas will soon shape OpenAI products.
OpenClaw itself will remain open source. OpenAI says it will continue to support and develop the project.
The repository has been one of the fastest-growing in GitHub history by stars. At its peak, it gained 34,000 stars in two days. In about 60 days, it went from roughly 9,000 to nearly 200,000 stars. For comparison, Kubernetes took about three years to reach 100,000.
Anthropic reportedly had an opportunity to move earlier but focused on trademark concerns around the original name ClawdBot.
This time, OpenAI moved first and secured the team behind the momentum.

OpenClaw founder chose OpenAI over Meta despite personal call with Zuckerberg
� Peter Steinberger said he was deciding between Meta and OpenAI before joining the latter.
� On the Lex Fridman podcast, he described a direct call with Mark Zuckerberg. The conversation was arranged quickly. Zuckerberg reviewed OpenClaw features live and gave product feedback.
� Steinberger also shared that OpenClaw had been losing $10,000 to $20,000 per month.
� He could have raised venture funding. He said top funds were reaching out and that OpenClaw could have become a standalone company. Instead, he chose OpenAI for scale.
� The main factor was audience reach and access to resources for building agents at larger distribution.
