("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. 1956958 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false true 23 0 true 125 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 6 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false true true true false CA DE X Chris Clark 4158799686 3180 18th St Suite 100 San Francisco CA 94110 David Luan VP Engineering 7.00 33.00 242500 250265 11283 John Schulman Technical Staff 7.00 33.00 216667 250265 11640 Christopher Olah Technical Staff 30.00 10.00 286073 133485 11284 Scott Gray Technical Staff 7.00 33.00 74167 343599 12909 Christopher Berner Technical Staff 7.00 33.00 72500 312765 17056 David Lansky General Counsel 10.00 30.00 X 58334 250265 42578 Chris Clark COO/Sec/Tres 10.00 30.00 X 143750 160682 4842 Ilya Sutskever Research Dir. 10.00 30.00 X X 29167 234274 24495 Gregory Brockman Director/CTO 10.00 30.00 X X 29167 12525 30522 Sam Altman Dir/President 10.00 30.00 X X 0 24143 3957 Reid Hoffman Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sue Yoon Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Holden Karnofsky Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Adam D'Angelo Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tasha McCauley Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1152325 1972268 170566 110 false true false Goodwin Proctor 100 Northern Avenue Boston MA 02210 Legal 211208 Adler & Colvin 135 Main St 20th Floor San Francisco CA 94105 Legal 220493 Przemyslaw Debiak 3180 18th St Suite 100 San Francisco CA 94110 Research 250000 3 33580000 100000 33580000 0 0 0 0 1000000 1000000 1000000 1000000 0 0 0 0 Other Revenue 19688 19688 Passthrough Income/Loss -2666959 -2666959 -2647271 31932729 -2647271 1000000 150000 150000 0 0 0 269515 180576 88939 0 -1264221 -2142398 878177 0 1008600 680699 327901 601751 406092 195659 0 399109 399109 0 0 0 0 109264 169225 -59961 0 327642 704 326938 356307 240472 115835 0 1577016 2438660 -861644 151652 100919 50733 0 0 0 0 112501 75921 36580 0 Cloud Computing Expenses 103709 103709 Other Expenses 10679 10679 Miscellaneous Expense -237336 -210232 -27104 Software and Web Expenses -343271 -237389 -105882 0 3332917 1956958 1375959 0 18866283 28481077 310016 300968 0 1499126 0 0 0 0 0 1309402 978592 189728 30680 1597982 159048 0 0 0 31495 0 2311977 1120453 25926281 31040138 5650918 267941 15339251 2763727 23753896 267941 X 2172385 30772197 2172385 30772197 25926281 31040138 28599812 X false true X true false X 13784637 33228555 49917797 33580000 130510989 0 0 13784637 33228555 49917797 33580000 130510989 41206312 89304677 44 110 154 0 50834 19688 70522 130581665 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 178180 28510 149670 6123 2041 4082 5425 129 5296 159048 false Stanford University 326 Galvez St Stanford CA 94305 941156365 501(c)(3) 150000 0 Artificial Intelligence Index Fund 1 0 true X X X X false false false false false false false false false Chris Clark COO/Sec/Tres 143750 160682 4842 143750 165524 Christopher Berner Technical Staff 42500 312765 30000 1334 15722 73834 328487 Christopher Olah Technical Staff 250000 133485 36073 6521 4763 292594 138248 David Lansky General Counsel 41667 250265 16667 5150 37428 63484 287693 David Luan VP Engineering 42500 250265 200000 1179 10104 243679 260369 Ilya Sutskever Research Dir. 29167 234274 2675 21820 31842 256094 John Schulman Technical Staff 50000 250265 166667 1234 10406 217901 260671 Scott Gray Technical Staff 44167 343599 30000 1450 11459 75617 355058 X Cloud Computing 1 100000 FMV false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The 990 will first be reviewed by the Controller and COO with the preparer and then the COO will present it to the board finance committee for approval.
