OpenAI is paving the way for the long-term possibilities of "embodied intelligence".

Although OpenAI's hardware projects are not yet part of the company's core strategy, its labs have expanded several times in less than a year, and it plans to establish a second facility in Richmond, California. Simultaneously, it is seeking manufacturing partners in the United States, covering areas such as consumer devices, robotics, and data centers. These actions send a clear signal: even without launching products in the short term, OpenAI is paving the way for the long-term possibilities of "embodied intelligence."
