Hi @FCBWanderer, @Kalpesh Manna 2002, @TempoaryAcc. I noticed that "OpenAI" was replaced by "OpenAI Group PBC" in the first sentence and in the infobox. But since the same article covers both the nonprofit and the for-profit PBC, maybe just "OpenAI" is better? Let me know if you disagree. There is also the issue that if we start with "OpenAI Group PBC" instead of "OpenAI", then the first sentence needs to be rephrased, because saying that the PBC consists of a PBC controlled by a nonprofit is awkward.

Note: the issue was fixed thanks to FCBWanderer. Alenoach (talk) 22:57, 28 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have flagged a section of this article for likely AI use, rationale: Special:Diff/1339882438 from Feb 2026, note WP:AISIGNS e.g. AIATTR, superficial analyses, vocab distro consistent with LLM output, AI edit summary, etc

There may be other AI edits, given the topic, this is the one I flagged, I am still going through Gnomingstuff (talk) 21:27, 22 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Another article states that this man is a co-founder of Open-AI : "Andrej Karpathy (born 23 October 1986) is a Slovak-Canadian AI researcher,^[1] who co-founded and formerly worked at OpenAI, where he specialized in deep learning and computer vision.^[2][3] René Groulx (talk) 04:01, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

He is listed as a co-founder in the article. If you say that because you didn't see him in the infobox, there is actually a note that lists the remaining co-founders, including Karpathy. Maybe it would be better for the infobox to be exhaustive than to have half of the list in a "Notes" section though. Alenoach (talk) 04:35, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
