OpenAI Restructures Its Robotics Team

Fortune reports OpenAI dissolved its stand-alone robotics team and moved its engineers into core research; OpenAI says robotics remains part of its long-term strategy. New reporting says Astra completed 7 of 100 StationeryBench tasks while MolmoAct2 completed none, a small test that does not establish broad real-world capability; the 74.8% result remains simulation-based. Physical-robot performance, cost and reliability tradeoffs, dedicated projects, staffing, and humanoid plans remain unclear.
