OpenAI Foundation — Founded Date: Dec 2015
The source confirms that OpenAI was originally founded in 2015 and that it was renamed to the OpenAI Foundation in October 2025 (specifically October 28, 2025). The claim states 'Founded Date = 2015-12' (December 2015), and while the source says 'founded in 2015' without specifying the month, the additional context provided in the claim states 'Originally founded as OpenAI, Inc. in December 2015' which is consistent with the source's 2015 founding date. The source confirms the October 2025 renaming to OpenAI Foundation. The claim's founding date of December 2015 is not contradicted by the source, which only specifies the year 2015.
