   OpenAI disbanded its robotics team. For the second time. The independent team was merged into the main research line, with applications and hardware placed under the Applied division. The company says this is not an exit but an acceleration: GPT-6 Astra can directly serve as a robot's brain.

   OpenAI moves robotics researchers to other teams; general models may make specialized robotics AI unnecessary

   OpenAI has merged its robotics researchers into other teams, believing that general models such as GPT-6 Astra can directly control robots and that specialized robotics models may no longer be necessary. The researchers moved to the main research team led by Mark Chen, and the applied robotics and hardware teams were merged into Greg Brockman's applied division; according to Fortune, because the decision was rushed, the company's booked booth at the CoRL conference sat empty. In Nvidia research, an Astra-driven agent achieved a 74.8% success rate on simulated robotics tasks, versus 51% for the best specialized model; the tests used a simulated DROID robot rather than a physical one. In 200 trials on StationeryBench, Astra fully completed 7 of 100 tasks, while Ai2's MolmoAct2 completed none, with average progress scores of 46 versus 12.

   OpenAI disbands independent robotics team

   According to a Fortune report, OpenAI has disbanded its independent robotics research team and reassigned the researchers to other departments; the company has confirmed the adjustment. The former robotics research team was merged into the core research team, reporting to Chief Research Officer Mark Chen, while the applied robotics and hardware teams were placed under the Applied division, led by President Greg Brockman. OpenAI emphasized that robotics remains central to the company's long-term vision and that this adjustment is not an exit from the robotics field. The report said OpenAI found that general frontier models, including GPT-6 Astra, can already be applied directly to robotics tasks; in an NVIDIA study, an agent powered by Astra achieved a 74.8% success rate on a simulated robotic manipulation benchmark, higher than the 51.0% best publicly reported result for specialized robotics models on that leaderboard, and the experiment was conducted in a digital simulation environment. The adjustment also comes amid company cost-control pressure; according to reports, OpenAI's operating loss reached $10.9 billion in its most recent quarter, and the company is seeking a new funding round and preparing for a possible IPO in early 2027.
