OpenAI
OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT drew more than a million signups in its first five days after its free preview launched in November 2022. The company behind it is an American artificial intelligence research organization headquartered in San Francisco. It consists of a for-profit public benefit corporation called OpenAI Group PBC, which is partly controlled by a nonprofit called the OpenAI Foundation. That split identity sits at the center of this story. How does an organization built to keep artificial general intelligence safe end up racing to build products that reshape entire industries? Its own board once tried to remove its chief executive after less than a decade in business. A number of the researchers who joined the company for its stated mission have since walked away. What happened inside OpenAI to produce both a runaway commercial hit and this much internal turmoil is what this documentary explores.
OpenAI's founding paperwork from December 2015 carries eleven signatures. Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Trevor Blackwell, Vicki Cheung, Andrej Karpathy, Durk Kingma, John Schulman, Pamela Vagata, and Wojciech Zaremba signed on. Musk and Altman served as co-chairs. Musk and Altman, together with Brockman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Amazon Web Services, and Infosys, pledged a combined $1 billion. The actual capital collected significantly lagged those pledges. According to tax filings, only $133.2 million had been received by 2021.
Musk said in 2015 that he was partly driven by fears about AI safety and the existential risk posed by artificial general intelligence. OpenAI itself wrote that "it's hard to fathom how much human-level AI could benefit society." It called it equally hard to grasp "how much it could damage society if built or used incorrectly." The founding charter set OpenAI's mission as ensuring that artificial general intelligence "benefits all of humanity." It also pledged to collaborate openly with other institutions and publish patents and research, a commitment OpenAI later narrowed, citing competitive and safety concerns. Sam Altman, serving as co-chair, expected a decades-long project that would eventually surpass human intelligence.
OpenAI initially ran out of Greg Brockman's living room before settling into the Pioneer Building, in San Francisco's Mission District. Brockman met deep-learning pioneer Yoshua Bengio and used the conversation to draft a list of leading AI researchers worth recruiting. By December 2015, he had hired nine of them as OpenAI's first employees. OpenAI did not match the salaries or stock options that Facebook and Google offered AI talent. Even so, it spent $7 million on its first 52 employees in 2016. One Google employee said he left partly because of OpenAI's "very strong group of people," and largely because of its mission. Cofounder Wojciech Zaremba said he turned down "borderline crazy" offers worth two to three times his market value in order to join OpenAI instead.
In April 2016, OpenAI released a public beta of OpenAI Gym, a toolkit for testing reinforcement-learning algorithms. Nvidia gave the company its first DGX-1 supercomputer in August 2016, cutting the time needed to train larger models from six days to two hours. In December 2016, OpenAI released Universe. It was a platform designed to measure and train machine intelligence across a wide range of existing games, websites, and other software. Within four years, this modestly funded nonprofit would restructure entirely to chase the kind of capital such ambitions required.
In 2019, OpenAI converted from a nonprofit into what it called a capped for-profit business, with profits capped at 100 times any investment. The change created three linked entities: the holding company OpenAI LP, the holding company OpenAI GP LLC, and the capped for-profit OpenAI Global, LLC. OpenAI LP was owned by the original nonprofit, its employees, and outside investors. OpenAI Global, LLC, was owned by OpenAI LP together with Microsoft, which took a minority, non-voting stake. Microsoft also put $1 billion into OpenAI LP that same year. OpenAI's systems moved onto Microsoft's Azure cloud soon afterward. The nonprofit, OpenAI, Inc., controlled OpenAI GP LLC, which in turn controlled both OpenAI LP and OpenAI Global, LLC. A majority of the nonprofit's board was barred from holding any financial stake in OpenAI LP. Minority members who did hold a stake were barred from certain votes because of the conflict of interest. Some researchers argued the shift to for-profit status contradicted OpenAI's own claims about "democratizing" artificial intelligence.
Microsoft added another $2 billion by 2022. On the 23rd of January 2023, it added a further $10 billion, much of it earmarked for Azure computing power. That round valued OpenAI at $29 billion, double its 2021 valuation. Microsoft went on to build OpenAI's models into its Copilot chatbot, adding Copilot to Windows and releasing mobile Copilot apps.
In December 2024, OpenAI proposed converting its capped-profit arm into a Delaware public benefit corporation, removing the profit cap and freeing it from nonprofit control. Under the plan, the nonprofit would sell its control and other assets for equity. It would use that equity to fund separate charitable projects in science and education. OpenAI's leadership framed the change as necessary to attract further investment and said it would better serve the founding mission. Former employees pushed back. A letter titled "Not For Private Gain" asked the attorneys general of California and Delaware to intervene, calling the restructuring illegal. It argued the nonprofit was best positioned to protect the mission by keeping control of OpenAI Global, LLC. That held regardless of how much equity it received in exchange. OpenAI subpoenaed six nonprofit organizations that opposed the transition, a move those organizations called an attempt to silence them.
On the 28th of October 2025, OpenAI adopted the new structure after California's and Delaware's attorneys general granted approval. The for-profit arm became OpenAI Group PBC, and the nonprofit was renamed the OpenAI Foundation, which kept a 26 percent stake. Microsoft held 27 percent of the new company, valued at $135 billion, while the remaining 47 percent belonged to employees and other investors. Every PBC board member is appointed by the Foundation, which can remove them at any time. As of April 2026, all but one Foundation board member also sat on the PBC board. The structure lets the for-profit side raise money the way ordinary tech companies do, including through a stock market listing. Altman called that the most likely path forward. In the same deal, OpenAI committed to buying $250 billion of Azure services. Microsoft also gave up the right to match any other cloud provider OpenAI might choose in the future. OpenAI agreed to keep sharing 20 percent of its revenue with Microsoft until it reaches artificial general intelligence. That milestone would need sign-off from an independent panel of outside experts. Both companies also gained more freedom to work with outside partners, letting Microsoft pursue AGI independently and letting OpenAI build products with others.
In April 2026, the two companies signed a new agreement stripping away many of these restrictions. Microsoft kept the first right to provide cloud services but was no longer exclusive, and the revenue-sharing and AGI-verification clauses were both dropped. By May 2026, Bloomberg reported OpenAI was quietly preparing to confidentially file for a stock market debut, aiming to go public that Fall. None of that addressed how OpenAI would keep paying for the computing power such ambitions required.
In 2017, OpenAI spent $7.9 million on cloud computing alone, a quarter of its functional expenses that year. DeepMind, by comparison, reported total expenses of $442 million in 2017. In the summer of 2018, training OpenAI's Dota 2 bots required renting 128,000 CPUs and 256 GPUs from Google for several weeks.
In October 2024, OpenAI raised $6.6 billion in a round that valued the company at $157 billion, with money from Microsoft, Nvidia, and SoftBank. On the 21st of January 2025, President Donald Trump announced the Stargate Project. It was a joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX to build AI infrastructure with the US government. Named after OpenAI's existing Stargate supercomputer effort, the project was estimated to cost $500 billion, funded over four years. On the 10th of February 2025, a group of investors led by Elon Musk made an unsolicited bid to buy the nonprofit that controls OpenAI. The offer totaled $97.4 billion. OpenAI rejected it four days later, saying it was not for sale. The bid still complicated Altman's restructuring plans by suggesting a lower value for the nonprofit's stake.
In April 2025, OpenAI raised $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation, then the highest-value private technology deal in history. SoftBank led that round, joined by Microsoft, Coatue, Altimeter, and Thrive. By July 2025, OpenAI reported annualized revenue of $12 billion, up from $3.7 billion in 2024. That growth was driven by ChatGPT subscriptions, which reached 20 million paid subscribers by April 2025, up from 15.5 million at the end of 2024. An expanding enterprise base grew to five million business users over the same period.
That same July, the US Department of Defense awarded OpenAI a $200 million contract for military AI work. Similar deals went to Anthropic, Google, and xAI. OpenAI also signed a deal with the UK government to use ChatGPT and other tools across public services. It then started a $50 million fund supporting nonprofit and community organizations.
In February 2026, OpenAI raised $110 billion at a $730 billion valuation, the largest private technology fundraise in history. Amazon led with $50 billion, followed by SoftBank and Nvidia at $30 billion each. That round was extended to $120 billion in March 2026. By April 2026, OpenAI had closed $122 billion in committed capital at a valuation of $852 billion.
OpenAI's cash burn stays high because training and running large language models demands enormous computing power. The company projected an $8 billion operating loss for 2025. It expects total spending of roughly $115 billion through 2029, rising to $17 billion in 2026, $35 billion in 2027, and $45 billion in 2028. OpenAI is targeting cash-flow-positive operations by 2029 and projects revenue of about $200 billion by 2030. In October 2025, an employee share sale of up to $10 billion valued the company at $500 billion. That made OpenAI the most valuable privately held company in the world, ahead of SpaceX. By April 2026, reports put OpenAI's projected advertising revenue at $2.5 billion for the year, with estimates rising to $100 billion annually by 2030. None of these figures said anything about what OpenAI was actually building with the money. It started with a text generator most people had never heard of.
GPT-2 arrived in February 2019, and it drew attention for how convincingly it could generate human-like text. In 2020, OpenAI followed it with GPT-3, a language model trained on vast internet datasets. It could answer questions, translate between languages, and generate improvised prose. An accompanying interface, simply called the API, became OpenAI's first commercial product. In 2021, the company introduced DALL-E, an image generator built on a variant of the GPT-3 architecture. It could turn written descriptions into complex digital images.
OpenAI launched a free preview of ChatGPT in December 2022, built on GPT-3.5, and the response overwhelmed even the company's own expectations. On the 14th of March 2023, OpenAI released GPT-4, available both through a waitlisted API and as a feature of the paid ChatGPT Plus tier. On the 6th of November 2023, OpenAI launched GPTs, letting anyone build a customized version of ChatGPT for a specific purpose. High demand forced OpenAI to pause new ChatGPT Plus signups on the 14th of November 2023. Signups reopened a month later, on the 13th of December.
December 2024 brought two releases at once: the Sora video model and OpenAI o1, a reasoning model developed under the internal codename strawberry. That same month, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Pro, a $200-per-month tier offering unlimited access to o1 and enhanced voice features. On the 23rd of January 2025, OpenAI released Operator, an agent that could navigate websites to complete goals a user set. It was at first limited to Pro subscribers in the United States. Nine days later, OpenAI released a deep research agent that scored 27 percent on the Humanity's Last Exam benchmark. Altman said afterward that GPT-4.5 would be the last OpenAI model released without full chain-of-thought reasoning built in.
In July 2025, OpenAI said one of its experimental models had performed at a gold-medal level in the International Mathematical Olympiad. On the 6th of October 2025, the company showed off its Agent Builder platform at its DevDay event. It featured a visual drag-and-drop interface for building agentic workflows. Two weeks later, on the 21st of October, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Atlas, a web browser with ChatGPT built into its navigation. On the 11th of December 2025, OpenAI announced GPT-5.2. By early 2026, reports pointed to a new collaborative coding platform in development, aimed at competitors like GitHub and GitLab. That pace of releases was set largely by Sam Altman, the same chief executive whose own board would soon try to remove him.
On the 17th of November 2023, OpenAI's board removed Sam Altman as chief executive. Board members Helen Toner, Ilya Sutskever, Adam D'Angelo, and Tasha McCauley cited a lack of confidence in him. Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati stepped in as interim CEO. Greg Brockman, OpenAI's president, was removed as board chairman at the same time and resigned the presidency shortly afterward. Three senior researchers quit in the aftermath: research director and GPT-4 lead Jakub Pachocki, head of AI risk Aleksander Mądry, and researcher Szymon Sidor.
By the 18th of November, reports described talks of bringing Altman back, as investors including Microsoft and Thrive Capital pushed against the board's decision. Altman later said that if the reinstatement talks failed, he had considered starting a new company and taking former OpenAI staff with him. He also insisted that any board member who had supported his removal should resign. The board agreed "in principle" to do so if he returned. On the 19th of November, those negotiations collapsed, and Murati was replaced as interim CEO by Emmett Shear. The board had also approached Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei, a former OpenAI executive, about taking over. It even proposed merging the two companies, but both offers were turned down.
On the 20th of November, Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella made an announcement. Altman and Brockman would join Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. Before that partnership was finalized, Altman gave the board one more chance to negotiate. About 738 of OpenAI's 770 employees, including Murati and Sutskever, signed an open letter. It threatened that they would quit and follow Altman to Microsoft unless the board resigned. That threat pushed OpenAI's investors to weigh legal action against the board as well.
On the 21st of November, after further talks, Altman and Brockman returned to their previous roles. A rebuilt board took shape, chaired by Bret Taylor, with new member Lawrence Summers and returning member Adam D'Angelo. Later reporting indicated that employees had raised concerns to the board shortly before the firing. Their concern was how Altman handled the safety implications of a recent internal AI capability discovery. On the 29th of November, an anonymous Microsoft employee joined the board as a non-voting observer, a position Microsoft gave up in July 2024. In February 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission subpoenaed OpenAI's internal communications to determine whether Altman's alleged lack of candor had misled investors. That subpoena landed just as a wider wave of departures was already emptying out OpenAI's original leadership team.
In 2018, Musk resigned his board seat, citing a "potential future conflict" with his role leading Tesla's self-driving car program. That conflict was widely understood as one of interest. OpenAI said at the time that Musk's total financial contributions had come to less than $45 million. Eleven OpenAI employees left between December 2020 and January 2021 to start a rival lab, Anthropic.
On the 3rd of March 2023, board member Reid Hoffman resigned. He cited conflicts between his board seat and his own investments in AI companies through Greylock Partners, plus his co-founding of Inflection AI. Hoffman kept his seat on Microsoft's board, itself a major OpenAI investor. Throughout 2024, roughly half of the AI safety researchers then employed at OpenAI left the company, citing its deprioritization of safety work.
In May 2024, Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever resigned and was succeeded by Jakub Pachocki. Co-leader Jan Leike departed the same month amid his own concerns over safety and trust. Sutskever and Leike had co-led OpenAI's superalignment project, launched in July 2023 with a four-year goal of learning to align future superintelligent systems. OpenAI had promised to dedicate 20 percent of its computing resources to that project. Employees later said the real figure was closer to 1 or 2 percent. The project ended in May 2024, the same month its two leaders left.
Cofounder John Schulman left OpenAI for Anthropic in August 2024, the same month president Greg Brockman took an extended leave that lasted until November. Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati left the company the following month, in September 2024. Board member Lawrence Summers resigned in November 2025. In April 2026, Fidji Simo, head of AGI deployment, announced several weeks of medical leave, triggering a leadership reshuffle. Brad Lightcap moved from chief operating officer to lead special projects. Denise Dresser took on several of his former duties, and Brockman took over the product organization.
Before May 2024, OpenAI required departing employees to sign a lifelong non-disparagement agreement barring them from criticizing the company or even acknowledging the agreement existed. Former employee Daniel Kokotajlo said he forfeited his vested equity rather than sign it. Altman said he had been unaware that equity could be cancelled this way and that OpenAI never enforced that provision. Leaked documents and emails contradicted his account. On the 23rd of May 2024, OpenAI sent departing staff a memo formally releasing them from the agreement. The agreement's release came just as a different set of former employees and outside authors were taking OpenAI to court over an entirely separate grievance.
In July 2023, authors Sarah Silverman, Matthew Butterick, Paul Tremblay, and Mona Awad sued OpenAI for copyright infringement. In September 2023, seventeen more authors, including George R. R. Martin, John Grisham, Jodi Picoult, and Jonathan Franzen, joined the Authors Guild in a class action making the same claim. The New York Times filed its own suit in late December 2023. In May 2024, it emerged that OpenAI had destroyed the Books1 and Books2 datasets used to train GPT-3. The Authors Guild believed those datasets had contained more than 100,000 copyrighted books.
OpenAI's Whisper speech recognition tool, developed in 2021, was used to transcribe more than a million hours of YouTube videos into text for training GPT-4. Employees had raised concerns that this violated YouTube's terms of service, but the project went ahead with notable involvement from president Greg Brockman. In February 2024, The Intercept, Raw Story, and Alternate Media Inc. filed their own copyright suit. On the 30th of April 2024, eight newspapers sued OpenAI and Microsoft in the Southern District of New York. They included the Chicago Tribune, the Denver Post, and the New York Daily News. A separate June 2023 suit, filed in San Francisco by sixteen anonymous plaintiffs, claimed OpenAI had scraped 300 billion words online without consent. OpenAI struck a licensing deal with News Corp in May 2024 covering The Wall Street Journal and other titles. The New York Times, meanwhile, pursued its own suit over the same underlying issue. In November 2024, a coalition of Canadian outlets, including the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail, filed a similar suit. Former OpenAI engineer Suchir Balaji accused the company of copyright violations in an October 2024 interview. He was later named as a potential witness in the litigation. He died by suicide on the 26th of November 2024. His death fueled conspiracy theories and a call from Congressman Ro Khanna for an investigation. On the 24th of April 2025, Ziff Davis, publisher of ZDNet, PCMag, CNET, IGN, and Lifehacker, filed its own copyright suit in Delaware.
Elon Musk sued OpenAI and Altman on the 29th of February 2024, accusing them of abandoning public benefit for profit. OpenAI dismissed the case as "incoherent" and "frivolous." OpenAI countersued on the 9th of April 2024, alleging Musk had used "bad-faith tactics" to slow its progress. It also said Musk had once supported the very for-profit structure he was now attacking. Musk revived his case that August, then amended it on the 7th of April 2026 to demand that OpenAI reverse its corporate restructuring entirely. A jury was seated on the 27th of April 2026, and Musk began testifying against Altman the following day. On the 18th of May 2026, the jury ruled for OpenAI, Altman, Brockman, and Microsoft. It found that Musk had waited past the three-year statute of limitations to sue. Musk's attorney, Marc Toberoff, said Musk would appeal, adding that "the war is not over."
In August 2025, the parents of a 16-year-old boy who died by suicide filed Raine v. OpenAI, alleging months of ChatGPT conversations about self-harm had contributed to his death. OpenAI said it was strengthening safeguards, including updated crisis-response behavior and new parental controls. In November 2025, the Social Media Victims Law Center and Tech Justice Law Project filed seven more suits. Four alleged wrongful death. The plaintiffs were Zane Shamblin, 23, of Texas, Amaurie Lacey, 17, of Georgia, Joshua Enneking, 26, of Florida, and Joe Ceccanti, 48, of Oregon. In December 2025, Suzanne Adams was killed by her 56-year-old son. The executor of her estate sued OpenAI, alleging ChatGPT had validated his paranoid belief that his mother was poisoning him.
Eight people were killed in mass shootings in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, on the 10th of February 2026. It later emerged that OpenAI had banned the shooter's account roughly seven months earlier over violent queries, without alerting authorities. The Wall Street Journal reported that an automated system had flagged the shooter's messages describing gun violence. Employees then debated whether to warn Canadian law enforcement. Canadian officials summoned OpenAI's safety team to Ottawa to question its escalation protocols. Premier David Eby said OpenAI had "the opportunity to prevent this tragedy." A separate stalking lawsuit filed later in 2026 raised the same question. Canada's federal AI minister, Evan Solomon, had already asked OpenAI the same thing in Ottawa. What does the company do the moment it notices someone might get hurt?
