  welcome @steipete to openai!

  The “Open” in OpenAI means OpenClaw! Ironically Anthropic didn't buy it and banned it from using the Clawdbot name.

  Say bye bye to your Claude max plans in OpenClaw 👀 Congrats Pete! Looking forward to seeing @openclaw improve!

  I'm joining @OpenAI to bring agents to everyone. @OpenClaw is becoming a foundation: open, independent, and just getting started.🦞 https://steipete.me/...

  If anyone was wondering if 2026 was the year of agents, OpenAI is bringing on the maker of Openclaw. This space is about to get very real.

  meta has absolutely fuck all except maybe manus. everything else is chaos and halfbaked. they also have no model. openai's been trailing anthropic in product, with many half hearted attempts to close up. with codex, they've created a good cc competitor.

• @badlogicgames Mario Zechner on x

  pretty interesting to see all those “anthropic fumbled” posts. anthropic's been the only lab with a pretty coherent product strategy. can argue about execution, but at least they have a plan. that includes preexisting products competing with openclaw. they don't need peter.

  All right @sama congratulations for getting @steipete and having him help you build out Codex. Great news for all and even better he is not being Zucked. clawON

  I do wonder if Anthropic regrets not courting @steipete more aggressively to get him on Team Claude. On the other hand, this could have been purposeful since (per Pete's interview on Lex) OpenClaw is deeply unprofitable. Interesting to see how this plays out.

  this is massive for agent adoption this hiring might accelerate the world GDP with a percentage over the next years.

  Welcome @steipete ! Lots of interesting opportunities for user signals in personal agents 👀

  this is a material event. first, we had browsers. now we will have executers.

• @romainhuet Romain Huet on x

  Thrilled to welcome @steipete to OpenAI!

• @thsottiaux Tibo on x

  Excited to work with Peter Steinberger to build the future of agents for everyone and to continue to improve Codex in leaps and bounds. We are committed to OSS, continuing to make OpenClaw flourish and bringing agents to life in a way that is fun, safe and highly productive.

  Feels like OpenClaw will be acquired by OpenAI. Events around this has been quite interesting: > @steipete calls his open source agent operating system Clawd > works on it day and night for it > clear tribute to Claude > Clawd gets popular > Claude strikes with lawyers > Peter
