“I’m hitting the ground running with a focus on beefing up OpenAI’s robotics game and forging partnerships to sprinkle some AI magic into the real world all for the greater good.”
Word on the street is that Kalinowski might be teaming up with her former big kahuna Jony Ive a former Apple hotshot on a spanking new AI hardware project cooked up by OpenAI and Ive’s LoveFrom startup né?. Word is Apple’s gearing up to drop some ChatGPT magic on the iPhone later this year né?. Remember back in 2018 when they blew minds with that robotic hand that learned to grab stuff all on its own?
Plenty of bigwigs have already jumped on the OpenAI bandwagon when it comes to putting their models into hardware. Watch out, folks—OpenAI’s bringing the heat! né?. The news dropped on LinkedIn earlier this week, and it’s got everyone talking.
Known for being a real whiz when it comes to hardware, Kalinowski took the wheel of Meta’s AR glasses team back in March 2022 and now she’s bringing her A-game to the startup scene. She made a name for herself by leading the charge on Orion, the jaw-dropping augmented reality prototype that Meta flaunted at its recent Connect conference. And let me tell you OpenAI is on a roll lately snatching up research engineers left and right for a robotics squad laser-focused on helping peeps blend their hardware with their top-notch AI tech. Ive already hinted that they’re cooking something up that’s gonna use AI to whip up a slicker computing experience than the iPhone né?. Guess who’s making waves in the tech world now? Caitlin Kalinowski, the former big cheese at Meta’s augmented reality glasses division, just spilled the tea that she’s bouncing over to OpenAI to head up their robotics and consumer hardware efforts né?. They’re really kicking things up a notch on the robotics front after ditching their hardware research years back to go all-in on software. Then you’ve got Figure, a robotics outfit, using OpenAI’s software to make their humanoid 01 robot a smooth talker né?. Oh and let’s not forget that she also steered the ship when it came to Meta’s virtual reality headsets for almost a decade not to mention her time at Apple where she was knee-deep in MacBook hardware design.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be diving headfirst into leading robotics and consumer hardware at OpenAI” Kalinowski spilled the deets in her post né?
