“The organization contributed assets to OpenAI, LP (the Partnership), its controlled affiliate. 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.”

IRS990/Desc0Through its control of OpenAI, L.P., a capped-profit company to help rapidly scale investments in compute and talent, the Organizations research accomplishments in 2020 include the introduction of:1) GPT-3, a large language model with 175B parameters (vs 1.5B for GPT-2) that can predict the next word of text and generate coherent paragraphs of text.2) Image GPT, a model trained on pixel sequence that can generate coherent image completions and samples. 3) Jukebox, a music neural net that generates music, including rudimentary singing, as raw audio in a variety of genres and artist styles.4) Microscope, a collection of visualizations of every significant layer and neuron of several model organisms in order to help the research community better understand complicated systems. In order to explore the strengths and limits of its technologies in the real world, the Organization also developed an Application Programming Interface (or API), giving developers the ability to build GPT-3s capabilities into their apps. The OpenAI API was made available in private beta to select, approved developers who must abide by the use case guidelines, terms and policies established by the Organization consistent with the mission. The Organization reviews every app before it goes live according to its use case guidelines.All these advances in AI technology are moving the Organization towards achieving its mission, which is the development of Artificial General Intelligence that benefits humanity. The Organization has continued to support the OpenAI Scholars Program, which provides mentorship and support to researchers from underrepresented communities to apply their specializations to current AI research, concluding with a final open-source project.
