Institutional dossier
The documented history of OpenAI: chronology, people, research, capital and compute, and governance. Every statement opens its source and its limits.
Records dated 2011 to 2026-10-15 · 38 undated

Scope, evidence and limits
Description: An AI research and deployment organisation. This sample covers selected records from its 2015 launch through the 2024 o1 system card.
The records are grouped automatically. No human inspection of the selected claims, source paths or framing is recorded for this dossier. Each source passage shows how it was checked.
The dossier is computed from existing records. It is not a continuous history of the institution, and a missing record does not mean that an event or relationship did not happen. The chronology uses the dates of events and reports, not the date the public could first have known of them. Later sources can describe earlier events.
Select any statement to see its exact claim, qualification, date note, evidence passage, location in the source, source version and review status. The description above is Selekoa’s stored description of the institution, based on these sources:
Connected institutional dossiers
Institutions linked by a documented relationship. Each keeps its own chronology and evidence. When units combine, their earlier records stay separate.
Chronology
Records about the institution itself and documented changes to its frameworks, by year. Expand a year to read the claims. People’s other institutional records and related documents have their own sections. Where a date gives only the year or month, the order within it is unknown.

OpenAI’s own account of a structure it was creating. It is not evidence of the partnership’s formation date, its agreements or any payment of returns.

Control is recorded separately (the record of the March 2019 announcement on board control); the umbrella OpenAI identity is the subject because the post speaks for “OpenAI”.

Unresolved.

Downgraded on 2026-10-03 from supported, which rested on an overstated paraphrase. It does not retire historical claims or prove implementation.

It is not evidence that the edition satisfies the statute, that its publisher is a frontier developer under it, or of implementation or compliance.
