Stable Diffusion easily has 100x more active users that Dall-e; this based on stats OpenAI released and private sources I been able to dig up. Rumored that Stability AI is in process of raising additional funding at over a billion dollar valuation. Unless OpenAI rapidly changes course, only matter of time before they are footnote in history of AI in my opinion, since Stability will likely rapidly go after every single current offering they have, including GPT3/CoPilot.

Well, I guess it's fortunate that OpenAI the company is owned by a nonprofit that's devoted to research. As long as they get funding they can keep doing research.

My understanding from Wikipedia is that in 2019, OpenAI transitioned from non-profit to "capped" for-profit.

That said, also quickly found what appears to be 990s for a non-profit OpenAI here, but they end in 2020:

Quick set of Google searches found nothing currently on their site — anyone have any additional information?

From the about page [1]:

> OpenAI LP is governed by the board of the OpenAI nonprofit, comprised of OpenAI LP employees Greg Brockman (Chairman & President), Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist), and Sam Altman (CEO), and non-employees Adam D’Angelo, Reid Hoffman, Will Hurd, Tasha McCauley, Helen Toner, and Shivon Zilis.

> Our investors include Microsoft, Reid Hoffman’s charitable foundation, and Khosla Ventures.

Also, [2] is interesting reading. It's not official (the author writes "views expressed are my own"), but it's written by a researcher at OpenAI and was reviewed by people on the board of directors.

Thanks, no idea how I missed reviewing the about page — and the recent post on LessWrong was interesting too; in fact, resubmitted it on HN, since I am curious what others make of it:
