Fortune reports OpenAI broke up its stand-alone robotics team. Research folks moved under Mark Chen, applied robotics and hardware moved under Greg Brockman. OpenAI says it's still committed to robots, it just thinks the general models (GPT-6 Astra) can now drive them directly. One Nvidia sim benchmark had an Astra agent at 74.8% vs 51.0% for the best specialized robot models.
The pushback in the piece is fair though: big models are slow and live in the cloud, so a robot needs a constant connection. Onboard small models and real deployment data still seem to matter.
Would you trust a robot in your house that stops working when the internet drops?
