Date 2021-01-26 · snapshot Scope and limits Read from a Delaware-stamped copy published by AI Lab Watch, which says it obtained the filings from the State of Delaware; authenticity rests on the filing stamp and the consistent recitals of later certificates.

The public-benefit wording changed in the restated certificate of May 2021; the later wording is recorded with the certificate of July 2025.
