Source details and check notes Authors Greg Brockman; Ilya Sutskever; OpenAI Version Dated page, inspected at retrieval Canonical address Open the canonical source ↗ Accessed 2026-09-17 Language English (en) Attribution OpenAI, Introducing OpenAI (2015-12-11). Reuse No open redistribution licence asserted. Bibliographic metadata, editorial paraphrases and minimal attributed excerpts only. Recheck terms before wider redistribution. Check notes Candidate pack passage, lab genealogy (research/lab-genealogy). The paraphrase’s verbatim anchor “Pamela Vagata” matched the retrieved text on 2026-10-15 and again in a fresh retrieval the same day. Read through the third-party reader relay r.jina.ai, which renders the publisher’s current page (the publisher refused direct retrieval); not an archive copy. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, apostrophes, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ. The paraphrase is Selekoa’s; only the anchor is the source’s wording. No human editorial review. Status and meaning Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor . An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. Participation in founding an organisation or research team. Neither sole founding nor legal incorporation is implied.
Date. Founding participation documented by the December 2015 launch announcement; year precision does not assert an incorporation date.
