Ex-OpenAI VP Launches Core Automation to Build AI's Most Automated Lab

Jerry Tworek, former VP at OpenAI, just pulled the curtain back on Core Automation — a new startup with a wildly ambitious goal: building "the world's most automated AI lab."

Tworek co-founded the company and has already assembled a roster of researchers poached from the industry's biggest names. We're talking talent from OpenAI, Anthropic, and DeepMind — basically the holy trinity of frontier AI labs.

The pitch is straightforward. Instead of just building AI products, Core Automation wants to automate the process of AI research and development itself. It's the meta play — using AI to build better AI, faster.

Details on funding, headcount, and specific product roadmap remain thin. But when a senior OpenAI departure launches a company stacked with elite researchers, the industry pays attention. This one's worth watching.
