[OpenClaw will set up an independent foundation: Nvidia and ByteDance have joined, and Tencent is in contact] On March 27th, OpenClaw will be transferred to an upcoming independent foundation to continue open source operations. Peter Steinberger, the founder and Austrian developer, revealed in his first exclusive interview with Bloomberg after joining OpenAI that Nvidia and ByteDance have confirmed to join the foundation, Tencent is in contact, and has also communicated with Microsoft. He claimed that he was' trying to be Switzerland 'in this matter. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously referred to Steinberger as a "genius" and stated that "the future will be extremely multi-agent, and supporting open source is important to us. Steinberger joined the Codex team at OpenAI and revealed the direction of integration between Codex and OpenClaw: when agents are smart enough, they will independently write code to enhance their abilities, and the boundary between "programming" and "non programming" is disappearing. "This is also the reason why we ultimately decided to merge the two at OpenAI. The multi-agent future he depicts is where each person has both a working agent and a personal agent, which can be called upon by each other but each holds their own data boundaries. In the interview, he also talked about the differences between China and the United States in the application of AI agents: "In the United States, some companies may dismiss you if you use OpenClaw; In China, some companies only get fired if you don't need it. He said that Chinese companies have shown him a table listing the names of each employee, with a column next to it saying 'What was automated today?' actively promoting employees to use AI to increase efficiency by 10 times. In the United States, some companies have restricted employee use due to security concerns. Steinberger believes that neither approach is perfect, but the United States can learn something from China's faster adoption of new technologies. "This thing is too new, the only way to learn it is to actually use and see it. During GTC, he had exchanges with Chinese companies such as MiniMax, Dark Side of the Moon, and Tencent. (Bloomberg)
