The source text explicitly states PauseAI's formation date as 'May 2023' and uses the ISO 8601 format '2023-05' in the infobox. This directly matches the claimed founded date of 2023-05. The additional context about the Dutch foundation registration in February 2024 is consistent with the source but refers to a later formal registration, not the founding date itself.
