OpenAI Foundation — Founded Date: Dec 2015
The source text explicitly states 'OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a nonprofit' and confirms that 'The nonprofit is now the OpenAI Foundation' as of October 28, 2025. The claim states the founding date as 2015-12 (December 2015), which is consistent with the source's statement of 2015. The additional context provided in the claim about the October 2025 renaming is also confirmed by the source. The source does not specify the exact month (December) of the 2015 founding, but this is not a contradiction—it's simply less precise. The core claim about the founding date being 2015 and the entity now being called OpenAI Foundation is confirmed.
