Peter Steinberger, the creator of the open-source AI tool 'Open Clue,' has officially joined OpenAI, marking a significant shift for the tool, which will now serve as a foundational model for OpenAI's AI agents. This news came from a report by Reuters, and was further confirmed by OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, who announced the development through a post on the social media platform X. Altman assured that the 'Open Clue' project would remain an open-source initiative, supported by OpenAI, aiming to foster further innovation and development in the AI field.

'Open Clue,' during its development, has undergone name changes three times since its initial launch, starting as 'Claude Bot.' This change was prompted by the desire to avoid confusion with another AI tool developed by Anthropic called 'Claude.' Subsequently, it was renamed 'Molt Bot' and finally settled on 'Open Clue' to establish its unique identity in the AI ecosystem. The tool has gained commendable traction, evidenced by over a million AI robots utilizing its model, showcasing its potential in the AI landscape.

The inclusion of Steinberger into OpenAI suggests a growing trend of collaboration between open-source AI initiatives and established corporations in the tech field. As projects like 'Open Clue' evolve, they can provide valuable resources and models that can enhance AI capabilities. With OpenAI's backing, 'Open Clue' is expected to receive further advancements, potentially leading to significant developments in the realm of artificial intelligence, particularly in creating versatile AI agents that can perform various tasks efficiently.
