The source confirms OpenAI is a non-profit, but does not specifically mention the '501(c)(3)' legal designation. The source text from the 2015 blog post only states it is a 'non-profit' without specifying the particular tax-exempt status. While 501(c)(3) is a specific U.S. legal structure for nonprofits, the source does not explicitly confirm this designation.
