So some models that hadn't been released yet, you could test them out and kind of work with it.
And I mean, they're obviously the front runner to a lot of all of AI.
So I think that was pretty cool.
They showed him some of their quote unquote cool projects that are being worked on right now.
So on February 15th, Sam Altman posted that Steinberger was going to be joining OpenAI to, quote, drive the next generation of personal agents.
OpenClaw, Sam Altman said, was going to live on as an open source project under a foundation with OpenAI continuing to support it.
So it's not like OpenAI is going to turn this into a for profit per se, but it's going to be a foundation.
It's going to be open source.
All of the people that have been working on it and
submitting tickets, like it's still going to be publicly accessible to everyone.
I think it's kind of goodwill, honestly, for OpenAI because they are getting this open source project and it feels to them maybe like they're getting back to their open source roots.
They grabbed this really popular open source project.
They continue to support it.
They can still make a gobsmacking amount of money from OpenAI's chat GPT and all of their other products, but they still kind of have this.
And so I think it's interesting.
A lot of people were asking Steinberger like why he went with OpenAI instead of going with someone like Anthropic or Meta or whatever.
And he said that he could have made OpenClaw into a massive company, but that building a big company was something that's very exciting.
I believe his last company he sold was like $100 million.
So I think or 100 million euros.
So like he's previously done very well for himself.
