My understanding from Wikipedia is that in 2019, OpenAI transitioned from non-profit to "capped" for-profit.

That said, also quickly found what appears to be 990s for a non-profit OpenAI here, but they end in 2020:

Quick set of Google searches found nothing currently on their site — anyone have any additional information?



From the about page [1]:

> OpenAI LP is governed by the board of the OpenAI nonprofit, comprised of OpenAI LP employees Greg Brockman (Chairman & President), Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist), and Sam Altman (CEO), and non-employees Adam D’Angelo, Reid Hoffman, Will Hurd, Tasha McCauley, Helen Toner, and Shivon Zilis.

> Our investors include Microsoft, Reid Hoffman’s charitable foundation, and Khosla Ventures.

Also, [2] is interesting reading. It's not official (the author writes "views expressed are my own"), but it's written by a researcher at OpenAI and was reviewed by people on the board of directors.

Thanks, no idea how I missed reviewing the about page — and the recent post on LessWrong was interesting too; in fact, resubmitted it on HN, since I am curious what others make of it:
