OpenAI told Fortune on Nov. 13 that it disbanded its stand-alone robotics team, moving researchers to Chief Research Officer Mark Chen and the applied robotics and hardware teams to President Greg Brockman. A spokesperson said robotics remains a long-term goal and that general models, including GPT-6 Astra, can be applied directly to robots. OpenAI has not posted the change, and no headcount was given.
