"Peter Steinberger founder of OpenClaw announced he is joining OpenAI to work on developing multi agent AI systems aimed at expanding practical agent based tools. He said OpenClaw will transition into a foundation structure while remaining open source and independent continuing its original development approach. OpenAI leadership has indicated that future AI systems will focus on coordination between multiple agents that can collaborate across tasks rather than operate as isolated chat tools. The move reflects a broader industry shift toward building AI systems that can plan execute workflows"
