关于 Peter Steinberger
Peter Steinberger 是一位奥地利开发者，于 2026 年 2 月加入 OpenAI，负责推动下一代个人智能体的发展。正如 Sam Altman 所说：“He is a genius with a lot of amazing ideas about the future of very smart agents interacting with each other to do very useful things for people. We expect this will quickly become core to our product offerings.”
在加入 OpenAI 之前，Steinberger 创建了 PSPDFKit——这个 PDF 框架被超过 10 亿台设备使用——并运营公司长达 13 年。在经历倦怠并出售股份后，他从科技界消失了三年。他在 2024 年回归，完全跳过了早期的 AI 工具，直接落地在 Claude Code 上——成为”代理工程”最有声的践行者之一。他的开源 AI 智能体 OpenClaw（前身为 Moltbot/Claudebot）积累了 18 万+ GitHub Stars，成为自主 AI 智能体领域的标杆项目。
他在 OpenAI 的既定使命：打造**“连我妈都能用的智能体”**——这需要先进的模型、安全保障和深度个人化的上下文理解。
职业亮点
- OpenAI（2026 年至今）：推动下一代个人智能体；OpenClaw 正过渡为由 OpenAI 赞助的独立基金会
- OpenClaw / Moltbot（2024-2026）：病毒式开源 AI 智能体的创建者（GitHub 18 万+ Stars）
- PSPDFKit（2011-2024）：创始人兼首席执行官，PDF SDK 在 10 亿+ 台设备上
- iOS 开发（2009-2011）：早期 App Store 开发者，移动端自由职业者
注目立场
关于”闭合循环”原则
Steinberger 的核心论点是：AI 编程的成功完全取决于反馈循环：
“The good thing about how to be effective with coding agents is always: you have to close the loop. It needs to be able to debug and test itself. That’s the big secret.”
这解释了为什么 AI 擅长编程却在创意任务中举步维艰——代码可以被编译、lint 检查、测试和验证，智能体能够从自己的失败中学习。
关于架构胜于实现
Steinberger 不逐行阅读生成的代码，而是专注于系统设计：
“I very much care about how the product feels, but how the plumbing works underneath—I care structurally, but not to the biggest detail.”
他并行运行 5-10 个 Codex 智能体，在它们负责实现的同时自己设计系统。
关于 PR 变成”提示请求”
“I read the prompts more than I read the code because this gives me more idea about the output. The work is the thinking about how it should work and what the details are.”
关键引语
- “It’s the same economics as a casino. You press the trigger—it does crap or it blows your mind.”
- “Code reviews are dead. PRs should be called prompt requests.”
- “I could run a company with 30% of the people. This requires redefining how the company works.”
- “I’ve never worked harder than I do now. Not because I have to, but because it’s so addictive.”
OpenClaw（前身为 Moltbot）
OpenClaw——最初以 Claudebot 发布，后更名为 Moltbot，最终命名为 OpenClaw——是 Steinberger 的开源 AI 智能体，以 18 万+ GitHub Stars 席卷了开发者世界。这是一个自我修改的个人智能体，在本地运行，可完整访问电子邮件、日历、WhatsApp 及其他系统。
随着 Steinberger 加入 OpenAI，OpenClaw 正过渡为独立基金会以维持其开源状态。OpenAI 已承诺赞助该基金会，项目将继续支持多个模型和公司。正如 Steinberger 所写：“The community around OpenClaw is something magical.”
主要特性：
- 自我修改——智能体可根据用户反馈重写自身源代码
- 多平台消息传递（WhatsApp、Signal、Discord、Slack、iMessage）
- 本地执行，保护隐私
- 以语音为主的开发工作流
- 具有主动个性与记忆能力
加入 OpenAI
2026 年 2 月，Steinberger 宣布加入 OpenAI，专注于”让所有人都能用上智能体”。他没有选择再创办一家公司——毕竟已经在 PSPDFKit 耕耘了 13 年——而是将自己定位为”一个骨子里的建造者”，希望在前沿领域深耕智能体方向。
Sam Altman 确认了这一任命，表示未来是”极度多智能体”的，Steinberger 的工作将”迅速成为” OpenAI 产品线的核心。

Creator of Moltbot/Claudebot
Built by a fellow named Peter who is what I would call a serial vibe coding enthusiast who's made a tremendous number of tools and is just a font of creativity.
Moltbot safety and development
Peter Steinberger, who created Moltbot, and the open-source community will figure out ways to make it safer.
Agentic engineering at scale
What if you could merge 600 commits on a single day and none of it was slop? This is what today's guest claims he's doing.
Closing the loop principle
The good thing about how to be effective with coding agents is always: you have to close the loop. It needs to be able to debug and test itself. That's the big secret.
Focus on architecture over implementation
I no longer read most of the code I ship. A lot of code really is just boring plumbing—data comes in one form, packaged into a different form, stored in a database.
Prompts over pull requests
I read the prompts more than I read the code. I ask people to please add the prompts. PRs are now prompt requests.
AI-driven organizational change
I could easily run a company with 30% of the people. But this requires completely redefining how the company works.
OpenClaw viral success and agentic engineering philosophy
I actually think vibe coding is a slur. I always tell people I do agentic engineering and then maybe after 3:00 a.m. I switch to vibe coding.
