The source confirms that OpenAI was originally founded in 2015. The additional context states it was founded in December 2015 (2015-12), and while the source text only specifies '2015' without the month, this is consistent with the claim. The source also confirms the entity was renamed to OpenAI Foundation in October 2025. The claim's founding date of 2015-12 is compatible with the source's statement of 2015, as the source does not contradict the December specification.
