NoteThe source directly confirms all three key fields: (1) name 'AI2050 Fellowships' is explicitly used throughout; (2) budget of $125 million is stated as 'Eric and Wendy Schmidt's $125 million commitment over five years'; (3) status is 'open' as evidenced by the announcement of the second cohort of fellows being selected and the statement that '15-20 early career researchers around the world are selected annually.' The exact stored value of 125,000,000 matches the source's stated '$125 million' commitment.
