OpenAI Begins Robotics Team with Key Hardware Hires
OpenAI is venturing into robotics hardware, a bold step announced by robotics lead Caitlin Kalinowski, marking a major expansion of its AI vision.
Details:
OpenAI is building its first robotics team, focusing on general-purpose robotics and AGI-level intelligence, and hiring senior engineers for sensors, mechanical design, and lab management
Previously, OpenAI worked with Jony Ive and partnered with Figure on humanoid robots. This new effort signals plans to create its own hardware
The team will combine advanced hardware and software, test various robot designs, and establish a data-gathering lab for development
OpenAI's move into robotics technology reflects its ambition to blend digital and physical AI, potentially competing with partners like Figure, similar to its dynamic with Microsoft.

Google Unveils Benchmark to Reduce LLM Hallucinations
AI development struggles with hallucinations—factually inaccurate responses from LLMs. Google DeepMind’s new FACTS Grounding benchmark aims to improve factual accuracy, especially for complex tasks.
Details:
The benchmark tests 1,719 examples across various fields, with models processing up to 32,000 tokens and providing fact-based responses. Gemini 2.0 Flash leads at 83.6%, with Anthropic, OpenAI models scoring above 61.7%
Evaluation has two phases: models must meet user requests and ensure responses without hallucinations, grounded responses, judged by three LLMs, with final scores averaged
FACTS dataset includes prompts, requests, and context documents. Models must extract relevant details, avoiding vague or unsupported answers
The initiative is a major step in addressing LLM factuality, with an active leaderboard on Kaggle to track and evaluate new models.
