Bingjie Tang, who worked on dexterous manipulation for Tesla's Optimus robot after three years at Nvidia's Seattle Robotics Lab, says she has joined Anthropic as a member of technical staff. Why it matters: It is another sign Anthropic is hiring physical-AI talent from robotics leaders. Also:...

For robotics teams, the move points to ongoing competition for engineers with hands-on dexterous manipulation experience, including those who worked on humanoid robot programs. For AI labs, it suggests physical AI is becoming a hiring priority. Readers should watch for confirmation from Anthropic or Tang and for whether more robotics hires follow.

Hardware and robotics watchers may want to track whether this becomes a product, benchmark, or deployment signal.
