DescIn 2019, the Organization created OpenAI, L.P. ("Partnership"), a new capped-profit company to help rapidly scale investments in compute and talent while including checks and balances in furtherance of the Organization's mission. Through its control of the Partnership, the Organization's reinforcement learning algorithms became the first AI to beat the world champions in an esports game. These same algorithms were then used to train a pair of neural networks to solve a Rubik's Cube with a human-like hand, requiring unprecedented dexterity. Additional research accomplishments included the discovery of emergent tool use from multi-agent interaction while playing a simple game of hide-and-seek and the creation of a deep neural network capable of generating short musical compositions with a variety of instruments and styles. The Organization also developed GPT-2, a large-scale language model trained to simply predict the next word of text and was able to generate coherent paragraphs of text. GPT-2 was released in stages to give the research community time to assess the properties of these models, discuss their societal implications, and evaluate the impacts of release after each stage. All these advances in AI technology are moving the Organization closer to achieving its mission, which is the development of Artificial General Intelligence in the public interest.The Organization also held its second edition of the OpenAI Scholars Program, which provided mentorship and support to researchers from underrepresented communities to apply their specializations to current AI research, concluding with a final open-source project.Desc

See Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, for more information regarding the Partnership. The organization does not have a written joint venture policy but took extensive steps to safeguard its exempt status, including maintaining control of the Partnership (through control of its general partner) to ensure that the Partnership furthers the organizations exempt purposes, requiring the Partnership to have terms in its partnership agreement to give priority to exempt purposes over maximizing profits for the other participants, preventing the Partnership from engaging in activities that would jeopardize the organization's exemption, and requiring all contracts entered into with the organization to be on terms that are at arm's length or more favorable to the organization.
