The source text explicitly states that OpenAI's current workforce is 4,500 employees as of the time of reporting (March 2026, per the article date of 2026/03/21). The claim states the headcount as of 2026-03 is 4,500, which directly matches the source's reference point ('from 4,500'). The source confirms this exact figure as the baseline from which OpenAI plans to nearly double to 8,000 by end-2026.
