OpenAI
"Creating safe AGI that benefits all of humanity"
US AI research lab and product company founded 2015; develops GPT, DALL-E, and robotics/embodied AI foundation models targeting physical-world AGI.
OpenAI, incorporated in San Francisco, California and founded in December 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Wojciech Zaremba, and John Schulman, is one of the world's foremost AI research and deployment companies. Its stated mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. OpenAI's flagship products include the GPT-4 family of large language models, the ChatGPT conversational interface, DALL-E for image generation, Codex for code, Sora for video synthesis, and the o-series reasoning models.
In robotics and embodied intelligence, OpenAI has assembled a dedicated robotics team focused on embodied AGI research — recruiting specialists in SLAM, visual foundation models, and vision-language-action (VLA) systems. The company has made strategic investments in multiple humanoid robotics ventures: 1X Technologies (NEO humanoid, US$125M), Figure AI (US$745M round), and Physical Intelligence (US$400M round), signaling commitment to bridging LLM capabilities with physical-world manipulation. OpenAI's models (GPT-4o, o3) are increasingly embedded by robotics OEMs for task planning, language-conditioned manipulation, and human-robot interaction.
In May 2025, OpenAI acquired io, a hardware design firm co-founded by Jony Ive, to lead its physical AI product development. With over one million square feet of office space in Mission Bay, San Francisco, and a global headcount in the thousands, OpenAI is a central enabler of the embodied AI wave reshaping the robotics industry.
