Watchdog Details the 20 Concessions California and Delaware Extracted From OpenAI's Restructuring
davidmanheim · x · 2026-09-03
Accountability group Not For Private Gain published an assessment of OpenAI's completed corporate restructuring: California and Delaware AGs extracted 20 concessions via memoranda of understanding, including requirements that the PBC prioritize the charitable mission on safety decisions and that the nonprofit retain approval rights — including power to halt model releases — plus five indicators to track over the next year. The group still deems the outcome contrary to OpenAI's charitable mission, though a substantial improvement over the original proposal.
