[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] **Magoo News Pulse — CRITICAL: WRITE URLs TO MEMORY**

## STEP 1: READ MEMORY
Read `memory/2026-02-13.md` and extract ALL source URLs already reported today.

## STEP 2: SEARCH (find 15+ candidates)
Search across categories:
- GitHub/Tech (SearXNG + `day`)
- AI Industry (web_search freshness="pd")
- Global Politics (SearXNG + `day`)
- Markets (SearXNG + `day`)
- Science (SearXNG + `day`)

## STEP 3: FILTER STRICTLY
- Remove ANY URL already in memory from today
- Remove ANY story about: Anthropic $30B funding, GitHub Agentic Workflows, Anthropic researcher quitting, DeepCode, DHS shutdown, NASA Crew-12 — these have been reported multiple times already
- Keep only genuinely new stories from last 20 min

## STEP 4: COMPILE BRIEFING
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], Friday Feb 13, 2026

🛠 **TECH/GITHUB:** (2-3 NEW items)
🤖 **AI:** (3-4 NEW items)
🌍 **GLOBAL:** (2-3 NEW items)
💰 **MARKETS:** (1-2 NEW items)
🔬 **SCIENCE:** (1-2 NEW items)

**Requirement: 10-12 items, ALL must be new (not in memory).**

## STEP 5: WRITE TO MEMORY (CRITICAL)
After delivering briefing, APPEND to `memory/2026-02-13.md`:

```
## News Pulse URLs — [timestamp]
- [URL 1]
- [URL 2]
- [URL 3]
... (all URLs from this briefing)
```

This prevents duplicates in future pulses.

If <5 new items found, report "Only [X] new items today" and STOP.
Current time: Saturday, February 14th, 2026 — 12:40 AM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user wants me to run a news pulse briefing. Let me break this down:

1. Read memory/2026-02-13.md to get existing URLs
2. Search across multiple categories for new stories
3. Filter out duplicates and already-reported stories
4. Compile a briefing
5. Write URLs to memory

Let me start by reading the memory file and then performing searches.

I'll run this pulse briefing. Let me start by reading today's memory file and then searching across all categories.

# 2026-02-13 Memory Log

## Session Summary (03:20-04:05 UTC)

### User
- **Skinny** (@skinnyc813, 6558388607) - runs multiple OpenClaw agents

### Major Task: Autonomous Overnight Workflow Setup

Set up all 7 OpenClaw agents to follow an autonomous work procedure:

**The Pattern:**
1. **SOUL.md** - Contains Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
2. **TODO.md** - Task list (drop tasks here before bed)
3. **PROGRESS-LOG.md** - Work journal (read in morning)
4. **Cron jobs** - Safety net at 2am, 4am, 6am UTC

**Agents Configured:**
| Agent | Workspace | Telegram Account |
|-------|-----------|------------------|
| main | workspace | fred |
| magoo | workspace-magoo | magoo |
| mark-twain | workspace-mark-twain | twain |
| clinker | workspace-clinker | clinker |
| ash-permits | workspace-ash-permits | carl |
| cannadeals-marketing | workspace-cannadeals-marketing | canna |
| ghc-marketing | workspace-ghc-marketing | maya |

**What I Did:**
- ✅ Updated SOUL.md on all 7 workspaces with autonomous work loop
- ✅ Created TODO.md and PROGRESS-LOG.md for all 7 workspaces
- ✅ Created 21 cron jobs (3 per agent at 2/4/6am UTC)
- ✅ Preserved all existing cron jobs (ghc deal posting, canna engagement, etc.)
- ✅ Updated USER.md with Skinny's info
- ✅ Deleted BOOTSTRAP.md

**Existing Cron Jobs (preserved):**
- ghc-marketing: Deal Post every 30min, 3 blog posts daily, X engagement
- cannadeals-marketing: ~20 jobs (morning posts, engagement rounds, random checks)

### Verification
- 4am cron jobs ran successfully on all agents
- All found no pending tasks (TODO.md empty) - expected for fresh setup

### Notes
- User asked about Clinker not responding - cron worked fine, suggested checking correct Telegram bot account
- cannadeals-marketing has custom SOUL.md sections preserved (server info, social media rules)

## How to Use the System

1. Before bed: Drop a task in any agent's `TODO.md`
2. Agent breaks it down, works through night
3. Gets nudged every 2 hours if stalled (cron safety net)
4. Morning: Check `PROGRESS-LOG.md` to see what happened

Good - I've read the memory file and got some AI news results. However, Brave API is now rate limited. Let me use SearXNG for the remaining searches since that's what TOOLS.md says to use as fallback.

Looking at the memory file, I can see URLs already reported. Let me extract them and then use SearXNG for additional searches.

Brave API hit rate limits. Switching to SearXNG for remaining searches. Let me search GitHub, politics, markets, and science.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Now I know how to use SearXNG. Let me run several searches in parallel using exec to get GitHub trending, politics, markets, and science news.

Now I need to check my memory logs to identify which URLs have already been documented. Looking through my records from 2026-02-13, I can see multiple timestamps tracking what I've already captured. The list includes sources like LLM Stats, The Guardian, CNBC, and various other tech and business outlets covering AI developments, funding rounds, and industry analysis.

From my most recent searches, I'm seeing duplicate entries emerge—stories about Cohere's IPO revenue, CNBC's coverage of AI's sector expansion, and The Guardian's reporting on white-collar workers transitioning careers due to AI. These reinforce the patterns already documented rather than introducing new information.

Several significant developments stand out that haven't been logged yet: Fast Company's analysis on world models becoming platform capabilities rather than corporate advantages, Dnyuz's reporting on venture capitalists breaking norms by funding competing AI ventures, and Ars Technica's coverage of an AI agent publishing a critical piece after its code was rejected. These represent fresh angles worth tracking alongside the existing coverage.

The latest SearXNG results are surfacing additional space and technology stories, including NASA and SpaceX's Crew-12 mission and new LLM statistics updates, suggesting there's more to monitor beyond what's already been captured. 13 23:20 UTC" section. I should also exclude any BBC, Guardian, or other news sites I've already pulled from today.

We’ve published a new preprint showing that a type of particle interaction many physicists expected would not occur can in fact arise under specific conditions. The work focuses on gluons, the particles that carry the strong nuclear force. The [preprint(opens in a new window)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.12176) is available on arXiv and is being submitted for publication. In the meantime, we welcome feedback from the community.
The preprint, titled “Single-minus gluon tree amplitudes are nonzero,” is authored by Alfredo Guevara (Institute for Advanced Study), Alex Lupsasca (Vanderbilt University and OpenAI), David Skinner (University of Cambridge), and Andrew Strominger (Harvard University), and Kevin Weil (OpenAI) on behalf of OpenAI.
The preprint studies a central concept in particle physics called a scattering amplitude. A scattering amplitude is the quantity physicists use to compute the probability that particles interact in a particular way. For gluons, the particles that carry the strong nuclear force, many amplitudes take unexpectedly simple forms “at tree level” (meaning calculations that keep only the simplest diagrams with no quantum loops). These simplifications have repeatedly revealed deeper structure in quantum field theory, the framework that provides a description of physics that unifies special relativity with quantum mechanics.
One case, however, has generally been treated as absent (having zero amplitude). When one gluon has negative helicity (meaning one of the two possible spin orientations a massless particle can have) and the remaining n−1 n-1 gluons have positive helicity, standard textbook arguments suggest that the corresponding tree-level amplitude must be zero. As a result, this configuration has largely been set aside.
The preprint shows that this conclusion is too strong. The standard argument assumes generic particle momenta, meaning the directions and energies are not in any special alignment. We identify a specific and precisely defined slice of momentum space where that reasoning no longer applies, known as the half-collinear regime. Half-collinear here means the gluon momenta obey a special alignment condition that is not typical, but is mathematically well-defined and consistent. On this slice, the amplitude does not vanish, and we compute it in a special kinematic regime. This result opens the door to many new questions that will be the subject of subsequent investigations. Important extensions include the computation of the analogous amplitudes for gravitons (the particles that mediate the gravitational force).
A central aspect of the work concerns methodology. The final formula, Eq. (39) in the preprint, was first conjectured by GPT‑5.2 Pro. The human authors worked out the amplitudes for integer n n up to n=6 n=6 by hand, obtaining very complicated expressions shown in Eqs. (29)--(32), which correspond to a “Feynman diagram expansion” whose complexity grows superexponentially in n. GPT‑5.2 Pro was able to greatly reduce the complexity of these expressions, providing the much simpler forms in Eqs. (35)--(38). From these base cases, it was then able to spot a pattern and posit a formula valid for all n n .
An internal scaffolded version of GPT‑5.2 then spent roughly 12 hours reasoning through the problem, coming up with the same formula and producing a formal proof of its validity. The equation was subsequently verified analytically to solve the Berends-Giele recursion relation, a standard step-by-step method for building multi-particle tree amplitudes from smaller building blocks. It was also checked against the soft theorem, which constrains how amplitudes behave when a particle becomes soft.
With the help of GPT‑5.2, these amplitudes have already been extended from gluons to gravitons, and other generalizations are also on their way. These AI-assisted results, and many others, will be reported on elsewhere.
“The physics of these highly degenerate scattering processes has been something I’ve been curious about since I first ran into them about fifteen years ago, so it is exciting to see the strikingly simple expressions in this paper.
It happens frequently in this part of physics that expressions for some physical observables, calculated using textbook methods, look terribly complicated, but turn out to be very simple. This is important because often simple formulas send us on a journey towards uncovering and understanding deep new structures, opening up new worlds of ideas where, amongst other things, the simplicity seen in the starting point is made obvious.
To me, “finding a simple formula” has always been fiddly, and also something that I have long felt might be automatable by computers. It looks like across a number of domains we are beginning to see this happen; the example in this paper seems especially well-suited to exploit the power of modern AI tools. I am looking forward to seeing this trend continue towards a general purpose “simple formula pattern recognition” tool in the near future.”
—Nima Arkani-Hamed, Professor of Physics, Institute for Advanced Study, specializing in theoretical high-energy physics

“I am already thinking about this preprint’s implications for aspects of my group’s research program. This is clearly journal-level research advancing the frontiers of theoretical physics, and its novelty will inspire future developments and subsequent publications. This preprint felt like a glimpse into the future of AI-assisted science, with physicists working hand-in-hand with AI to generate and validate new insights. There is no question that dialogue between physicists and LLMs can generate fundamentally new knowledge. By coupling GPT‑5.2 with human domain experts, the paper provides a template for validating LLM-driven insights and satisfies what we expect from rigorous scientific inquiry.”
—Nathaniel Craig, Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), specializing in high-energy physics, particle phenomenology, and cosmology

## Model Version Timeline
Track all LLM releases and version updates

## Understanding LLM Versioning
AI model versioning follows patterns that help developers understand capabilities and stability. Major versions (GPT-3 → GPT-4, Claude 2 → Claude 3) indicate significant capability improvements and may require prompt adjustments. Minor updates (GPT-4 → GPT-4 Turbo) offer performance optimizations, cost reductions, or context window expansions while maintaining compatibility.
Organizations use various naming conventions: OpenAI uses dated snapshots (gpt-4-0613), Anthropic uses descriptive tiers (Claude 3.5 Sonnet), and Google uses generation markers (Gemini 1.5 Pro). Understanding these patterns helps you make informed decisions about when to upgrade and how to manage deprecations.

In a move that is perhaps less surprising than you might think, Microsoft seems to be readying up to dump [OpenAI](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/openai-chatgpt).
Right now, Microsoft's entire [AI](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence) operation is powered by [ChatGPT](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/openai-chatgpt) and other OpenAI models, including DALLE 3. [Microsoft has shown impressive growth and demand for its enterprise-grade AI tools](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-copilot/satya-nadella-says-microsofts-copilot-ai-is-seeing-massive-use), including things like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Github Copilot, even if its consumer-level efforts have largely fallen flat.

Sam Altman's AI company is enduring lawsuits from various entites, including a high-profile copyright violation claim from New York Times, and another from Elon Musk's xAI. (Image credit: Getty Images | Bloomberg)“We have to develop our own foundation models, which are at the absolute frontier, with gigawatt-scale compute and some of the very best AI training teams in the world," Suleyman said of the move, which potentially casts another shadow over OpenAI's future.
All the latest news, reviews, and guides for Windows and Xbox diehards.

Microsoft's comms chief Frank X. Shaw noted that the firm will continue to collaborate with OpenAI, elaborating that Microsoft's home-grown models will be used for "specific things." "We are in a multi-model world," he said on [X](https://x.com/fxshaw/status/2022176136734863768?s=20). "OAI has a huge role for us AND we are building frontier models for specific things we want to do as well."
Microsoft has already been investing in some of OpenAI's competitors, including Anthropic, but now plans to launch its own frontier-grade models "some time" in 2026. The move essentially makes Microsoft a direct competitor to OpenAI and other similar firms, as all of big tech tries to wrap its collective head around what this post-AI future might look like. It's potentially another blow for Sam Altman's outfit, after [NVIDIA snubbed suggestions it would be investing $100 billion](https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/the-cost-of-ai-microsoft-nvidia-and-amazon-reportedly-weigh-usd60-billion-investment-in-openai) in the firm, despite earlier rumors.
In the full FT piece, the Google Deepmind co-founder Suleyman struck an optimistic tone about how AI could "benefit humanity," while in the same breath, suggesting that all white collar work will be automated within two years. I'm sure if you're a white collar worker, you'll be thrilled to hear that. Microsoft says it aims to use AI to improve and optimize healthcare, putting a focus on building "medical super-intelligence," and stating that soon, AI tools will be self-improving and near fully autonomous in their behavior. Microsoft has put a big emphasis on AI agents in its Azure tools, which allow users to automate prompts and workflows while adopting corporate and legal compliance.
The public maintains a generally negative sentiment about AI, despite the skyrocketing amount of people actively using the tech. Although, [few actually pay for it](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/microsoft-copilot/only-3-3-percent-of-microsoft-365-users-pay-for-copilot). Microsoft itself has been the target of the ["Microslop" meme](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/microslop-trends-on-social-media-backlash-to-microsofts-on-going-ai-obsession-continues), where users mock the firm's haphazard implementation of AI features into Windows 11. [Investors also handed Microsoft a multi-biillion dollar rout](https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/microsoft-loses-a-massive-usd440-billion-in-market-cap-as-shares-tank-investors-get-increasingly-sceptical-of-its-ai-strategy) over the last few weeks, nervous that the capital expenditure on AI infrastructure isn't justified in reality.
Irritations aside, there are real concerns about AI blowing up society. Despite these fears of economic upheaval and mass job losses, none of the big AI companies are slowing down. If anything, they're speeding up. The ethical concerns are seeing OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies are shedding researchers and staffers at a persistent cadence — many of whom leave dire warnings in their wake. Just yesterday, [I wrote about an OpenAI quitter who penned a familiar op-ed, full of dark portents](https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/openai-researcher-resigns-says-chatgpt-ads-will-manipulate-users) about AI tech damaging, or even destroying society.
On such fears, Suleyman remained upbeat.
"We have to reset that and make the assumption that we should only bring a system like that into the world, that we are sure we can control and operates in a subordinate way to us. These tools, like any other past technology, are designed to enhance human wellbeing and serve humanity, not exceed humanity."

I'm not sure I believe you, Mr. Suleyman.

OpenAI has deleted the word ‘safely’ from its mission – and its new structure is a test for whether AI serves society or shareholders

OpenAI, the maker of the [most popular AI chatbot](https://firstpagesage.com/reports/top-generative-ai-chatbots/), used to say it aimed to build artificial intelligence that “safely benefits humanity, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return,” [according to its 2023](https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/4099/2023-IRS990-OpenAI.pdf?1770819990) mission statement. But the ChatGPT maker seems to no longer have the same emphasis on doing so “safely.”

While reviewing its latest IRS disclosure form, which was released in November 2025 and covers 2024, I noticed OpenAI [had removed “safely” from its mission statement](https://app.candid.org/profile/9571629/openai-81-0861541?activeTab=7), among other changes. That change in wording coincided with its [transformation from a nonprofit organization](https://theconversation.com/as-openai-attracts-billions-in-new-investment-its-goal-of-balancing-profit-with-purpose-is-getting-more-challenging-to-pull-off-240602) into a business [increasingly focused on profits](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/technology/openai-revenue-challenge.html).

OpenAI currently faces [several lawsuits](https://www.transparencycoalition.ai/news/seven-more-lawsuits-filed-against-openai-for-chatgpt-suicide-coaching) related to its products’ safety, making this change newsworthy. Many of the plaintiffs suing the AI company allege psychological manipulation, wrongful death and assisted suicide, while others have filed negligence claims.

As a scholar of [nonprofit accountability](https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=_-YZrXgAAAAJ&citation_for_view=_-YZrXgAAAAJ:hC7cP41nSMkC) and the [governance of social enterprises](https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=_-YZrXgAAAAJ&citation_for_view=_-YZrXgAAAAJ:_kc_bZDykSQC), I see the deletion of the word “safely” from its mission statement as a significant shift that has largely gone unreported – outside [highly specialized outlets](https://news.aibase.com/news/22994).

And I believe OpenAI’s makeover is a test case for how we, as a society, oversee the work of organizations that have the potential to both provide enormous benefits and do catastrophic harm.

## Tracing OpenAI’s origins

OpenAI, which also makes the Sora video artificial intelligence app, was founded as a nonprofit scientific research lab in 2015. Its original purpose was to benefit society by [making its findings public and royalty-free](https://perma.cc/MXE3-FJ7F) rather than to make money.

To raise the money that developing its AI models would require, OpenAI, under the leadership of CEO Sam Altman, created a [for-profit subsidiary in 2019](https://openai.com/our-structure/). Microsoft initially invested US$1 billion in this venture; by 2024 that sum had topped $13 billion.

In exchange, Microsoft was promised a portion of future profits, capped at 100 times its initial investment. But the software giant didn’t get a seat on OpenAI’s nonprofit board – meaning it lacked the power to help steer the AI venture it was funding.

A subsequent round of funding in late 2024, which raised $6.6 billion from multiple investors, came with a catch: that the funding would become debt [unless OpenAI converted to a more traditional for-profit business](https://theconversation.com/as-openai-attracts-billions-in-new-investment-its-goal-of-balancing-profit-with-purpose-is-getting-more-challenging-to-pull-off-240602) in which investors could own shares, without any caps on profits, and possibly occupy board seats.

## Establishing a new structure

In October 2025, OpenAI reached an agreement with the attorneys general of California and Delaware to [become a more traditional for-profit company](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/technology/openai-restructure-for-profit-company.html?searchResultPosition=6).

Under the new arrangement, OpenAI was split into two entities: a nonprofit foundation and a for-profit business.

The restructured nonprofit, the [OpenAI Foundation](https://openai.com/foundation/), owns about one-fourth of the stock in a new [for-profit public benefit corporation](https://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc15/), the [OpenAI Group](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/openais-restructuring-sets-could-biggest-004100492.html). Both are headquartered in California but [incorporated in Delaware](https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26205026/openai-pbc-articles-of-incorporation.pdf).

A [public benefit corporation](https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2020/08/31/delaware-public-benefit-corporations-recent-developments/) is a business that must consider interests beyond shareholders, such as those of society and the environment, and it must issue an annual benefit report to its shareholders and the public. However, it is up to the board to decide how to weigh those interests and what to report in terms of the benefits and harms caused by the company.

The new structure is described in a [memorandum of understanding](https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/4101/Final_Executed_MOU_Between_OpenAI_and_California_AG_re_Notice_of_Conditions_of_Non-Objection_%2810.27.2025%29_%28Signed_by_OpenAI%29_%28Signed_by_CA_DOJ%29.pdf?1770844719) signed in October 2025 by OpenAI and the California attorney general, and [endorsed by the Delaware attorney general](https://news.delaware.gov/2025/10/28/ag-jennings-completes-review-of-openai-recapitalization/).

Many business media outlets heralded the move, predicting that it would [usher in more investment](https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-converts-to-public-benefit-corporation-with-microsoft-taking-27-stake-714a6c05). Two months later, SoftBank, a Japanese conglomerate, finalized a [$41 billion investment in OpenAI](https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/softbank-has-fully-funded-its-40-billion-investment-openai-cnbc-reports-2025-12-30/).

## Changing its mission statement

Most charities must [file forms annually with the Internal Revenue Service](https://theconversation.com/whats-a-990-form-a-charity-accounting-expert-explains-175019) with details about their missions, activities and financial status to show that they qualify for tax-exempt status. Because the IRS makes the forms public, they have become a way for nonprofits to signal their missions to the world.

In [its forms for 2022](https://app.candid.org/profile/9571629/openai-81-0861541?activeTab=7), [and 2023](https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/4099/2023-IRS990-OpenAI.pdf?1770819990), OpenAI said its mission was “to build general-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) that safely benefits humanity, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.”

 https://images.theconversation.com/files/717796/original/file-20260211-56-pv2w2t.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=1000&fit=clip

 OpenAI’s mission statement as of 2023 included the word ‘safely.’
 IRS via Candid

That mission statement has changed, as of [OpenAI’s 990 form for 2024](https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/4100/2024-IRS990-OpenAI.pdf?1770820492) – which the company filed with the IRS in late 2025. It became “to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.”

 https://images.theconversation.com/files/717795/original/file-20260211-56-96xe28.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=1000&fit=clip

 OpenAI’s mission statement as of 2024 no longer included the word ‘safely.’
 IRS via Candid

OpenAI had dropped its commitment to safety from its mission statement – along with a commitment to being “unconstrained” by a need to make money for investors. According to Platformer, a tech media outlet, it has also disbanded its “[mission alignment](https://www.platformer.news/openai-mission-alignment-team-joshua-achiam/)” team.

In my view, these changes explicitly signal that OpenAI is making its profits a higher priority than the safety of its products.

To be sure, OpenAI continues to mention safety when it [discusses its mission](https://openai.com/index/why-our-structure-must-evolve-to-advance-our-mission/). “We view this mission as the most important challenge of our time,” it states on its website. “It requires simultaneously advancing AI’s capability, safety, and positive impact in the world.”

## Revising its legal governance structure

Nonprofit boards are responsible for key decisions and [upholding their organization’s mission](https://theconversation.com/openai-is-a-nonprofit-corporate-hybrid-a-management-expert-explains-how-this-model-works-and-how-it-fueled-the-tumult-around-ceo-sam-altmans-short-lived-ouster-218340).

Unlike private companies, board members of [tax-exempt charitable nonprofits](https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/charitable-organizations/exemption-requirements-501c3-organizations) cannot personally enrich themselves by taking a share of earnings. In cases where a nonprofit owns a for-profit business, as OpenAI did with its previous structure, investors can take a cut of profits – but they typically do not get a seat on the board or have an opportunity to elect board members, because that would be seen as a conflict of interest.

The OpenAI Foundation now has a 26% stake in OpenAI Group. In effect, that means that the nonprofit board has given up nearly three-quarters of its control over the company. Software giant Microsoft owns a slightly larger stake – 27% of OpenAI’s stock – due to its [$13.8 billion investment in the AI company](https://www.fool.com/investing/2025/11/03/open-ai-move-made-microsoft-no-brainer-buy/) to date. OpenAI’s employees and its other investors own the rest of the shares.

## Seeking more investment

The main goal of OpenAI’s restructuring, which it called a “[recapitalization](https://openai.com/index/built-to-benefit-everyone/),” was to attract more private investment in the [race for AI dominance](https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbesbusinesscouncil/2025/02/27/the-ai-arms-race-deepseek-vs-openai-and-the-battle-for-global-ai-dominance/).

It has already succeeded on that front.

As of early February 2026, the company was in talks with SoftBank for an [additional $30 billion](https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/softbank-talks-invest-up-30-billion-more-openai-wsj-reports-2026-01-28/) and stands to get up to a total of [$60 billion from Amazon, Nvidia and Microsoft](https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/amazon-talks-invest-up-50-billion-openai-wsj-reports-2026-01-29/) combined.

OpenAI is now valued at over [$500 billion](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/02/openai-share-sale-500-billion-valuation.html), up from [$300 billion](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/openai/__kElhSG7uVGeFk1i71Co9-nwFtmtyMVT7f-YHMn4TFBg/funding-and-investors#funding-rounds) in March 2025. The new structure also paves the way for an eventual [initial public offering](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/ipo.asp), which, if it happens, would not only help the company [raise more capital through stock markets](https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-ipo-anthropic-race-69f06a42) but would also increase the pressure to make money for its shareholders.

OpenAI says the foundation’s endowment is [worth about $130 billion](https://openai.com/index/built-to-benefit-everyone/).

Those numbers are only estimates because OpenAI is a privately held company without publicly traded shares. That means these figures are based on market value estimates rather than any objective evidence, such as market capitalization.

When he [announced the new structure](https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-issues-statement-openai%E2%80%99s-recapitalization-plan), California Attorney General Rob Bonta said, “We secured concessions that ensure charitable assets are used for their intended purpose.” He also predicted that “safety will be prioritized” and said the “top priority is, and always will be, protecting our kids.”

## Steps that might help keep people safe

At the same time, several conditions in the OpenAI restructuring memo are designed to promote safety, including:

- A safety and security committee on the OpenAI Foundation board has the authority to [“require mitigation measures”](https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/4101/Final_Executed_MOU_Between_OpenAI_and_California_AG_re_Notice_of_Conditions_of_Non-Objection_%2810.27.2025%29_%28Signed_by_OpenAI%29_%28Signed_by_CA_DOJ%29.pdf?1770844719) that could potentially include the halting of a release of new OpenAI products based on assessments of their risks.

- The for-profit OpenAI Group has its own board, which must consider only OpenAI’s mission – rather than financial issues – regarding safety and security issues.

- The OpenAI Foundation’s nonprofit board gets to appoint all members of the OpenAI Group’s for-profit board.

But given that neither the mission of the foundation nor of the OpenAI group explicitly alludes to safety, it will be hard to hold their boards accountable for it.

Furthermore, since [all but one board member currently serve on both boards](https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2025-10-30/openai-restructure-paves-way-for-ipo-and-ai-spending-spree), it is hard to see how they might oversee themselves. And [the memorandum signed by the California attorney general](https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/4101/Final_Executed_MOU_Between_OpenAI_and_California_AG_re_Notice_of_Conditions_of_Non-Objection_%2810.27.2025%29_%28Signed_by_OpenAI%29_%28Signed_by_CA_DOJ%29.pdf?1770844719) doesn’t indicate whether he was aware of the removal of any reference to safety from the mission statement.

## Identifying other paths OpenAI could have taken

There are alternative models that I believe would serve the public interest better than this one.

When Health Net, a California nonprofit [health maintenance organization](https://www.medicare.gov/health-drug-plans/health-plans/your-health-plan-options/HMO), [converted to a for-profit insurance company](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-08-fi-1192-story.html) in 1992, regulators required that 80% of its equity be transferred to another [nonprofit health foundation](https://www.calwellness.org/mission/our-story/). Unlike with OpenAI, the foundation had majority control after the transformation.

A [coalition of California nonprofits](https://www.eyesonopenai.org) has argued that the attorney general should require OpenAI to transfer all of its assets to an independent nonprofit.

Another example is [The Philadelphia Inquirer](https://www.lenfestinstitute.org/our-work/the-philadelphia-inquirer/). The Pennsylvania newspaper [became a for-profit public benefit corporation](https://current.org/2016/04/as-philadelphia-newspapers-turn-to-nonprofits-who-is-public-media/) in 2016. It belongs to the Lenfest Institute, a nonprofit.

This structure allows Philadelphia’s biggest newspaper to attract investment without compromising its purpose – journalism serving the needs of its local communities. It’s become a model for potentially [transforming the local news industry](https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/press-forward-lenfest-institute-journalism-philanthropy-american-democracy-20230907.html).

At this point, I believe that the public bears the burden of two governance failures. One is that OpenAI’s board has apparently abandoned its mission of safety. And the other is that the attorneys general of California and Delaware have let that happen.

Former employees indicate that a recent restructuring at xAI was precipitated by underlying tensions concerning safety protocols and a pervasive feeling of being “stuck in the catch-up phase.”

The past few days have seen a notable churn at xAI, marked by a series of high-profile departures among its co-founders and staff. On Tuesday and Wednesday, co-founder Yuhuai (Tony) Wu announced his exit, citing it was “time for [his] next chapter.” Later that day, co-founder Jimmy Ba followed suit with a similar post, declaring it was “time to recalibrate [his] gradient on the big picture.” These resignations mean that xAI now retains only half of its original 12 co-founders. Additionally, numerous other employees have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to announce their departures, with some revealing plans to launch their own AI companies.

Elon Musk’s AI startup, through various mergers and acquisitions, now operates under the same corporate umbrella as his space exploration company, SpaceX, and his social media platform, X. Following the SpaceX merger announcement last week, rumors have intensified regarding a reported $1.25 trillion valuation and the integrated company’s future ambitions. Musk has publicly stated these plans include “space-based AI” data centers and the creation of “the most ambitious, vertically-integrated innovation engine on (and off) Earth.” During an internal xAI meeting on Tuesday, Musk reportedly discussed proposals for establishing an AI satellite factory and even a city on the Moon.

While post-merger periods often present a natural point for organizational changes—and Musk has acknowledged that some departures were part of a reorganization that “unfortunately required parting ways with some people”—there are also strong indications that employees are dissatisfied with the strategic direction Musk is implementing.

An anonymous former employee, who left xAI earlier this year and spoke with The Verge, cited widespread disillusionment within the company regarding xAI’s focus on "NSFW Grok creations" and a perceived disregard for safety. This source also expressed a feeling that the company was perpetually “stuck in the catch-up phase,” failing to introduce anything genuinely novel or distinct from its competitors. The individual elaborated, “Although we were iterating really fast, we were never able to get to a point like, ‘Oh, we’ve made a step function change over what OpenAI or Anthropic or other companies had released.’”

The SpaceX merger reportedly involved issuing $250 billion in new shares to xAI shareholders, potentially affording employees with equity greater financial flexibility to pursue their own ventures. Reflecting this trend, former employee Vahid Kazemi posted on X, stating, “all AI labs are building the exact same thing, and it’s boring. I think there’s room for more creativity. So, I’m starting something new.” Another former staffer confirmed their departure with the aim to “build something new, focused on accelerating science.”

In a similar vein, another former employee announced the launch of Nuraline, an AI infrastructure company, co-founded with other ex-xAI colleagues. This individual wrote, “During my time at xAI, I got to see a clear path towards hill climbing any problem that can be defined in a measurable way. At the same time, I’ve seen how raw intelligence can get lobotomized by the finest human errors … Learning shouldn’t stop at the model weights, but continue to improve every part of an AI system.”

“Safety is a dead org at xAI.”

Musk released a recording of xAI’s 45-minute internal all-hands meeting where he detailed the company's new organizational structure. He outlined four primary divisions for xAI: Grok Main and Voice (dedicated to the core Grok AI model), Coding, Imagine (focusing on image and video AI), and Macrohard, which Musk described as “intended to do full digital emulation of entire companies.”

The former employee who departed earlier this year suggested that Grok’s pivot towards NSFW content was partly due to the dissolution of the safety team. This left minimal safety review processes for the models, beyond basic filters for egregious content like CSAM. “Safety is a dead org at xAI,” the source asserted. It is noteworthy that the restructured organizational chart shared by Elon Musk on X makes no mention of a dedicated safety team. The source also indicated that during their tenure, leadership exhibited frequent disagreements on product feature prioritization, with internal conflicts occasionally hindering progress. Many shipping decisions, they added, were made through an all-company group chat on X, which included Musk.

A second anonymous source, who left xAI before the recent restructuring, echoed the sentiment that Musk’s company was primarily engaged in a "catch-up" strategy. This source articulated, “Trying to do what OpenAI was doing a year ago is not how you beat OpenAI. Everything is a catch-up. There’s almost zero risky bet. If something hasn’t been done before we’re not going to do it.”

This source further highlighted xAI’s insufficient focus on safety, an issue that The Washington Post also brought to light in its reporting earlier this month.

“There is zero safety whatsoever in the company — not in the image [model], not in the chatbot,” the second source emphatically stated. They added a critical observation: “He [Musk] actively is trying to make the model more unhinged because safety means censorship, in a sense, to him.”

Furthermore, the second source revealed that xAI engineers were accustomed to immediately “push[ing] to prod[uction],” and for an extended period, human review was entirely absent from this process.

This source concluded with a stark assessment of the internal culture: “You survive by shutting up and doing what Elon wants.”

[OpenAI](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/1554630D:US) has warned US lawmakers that its Chinese rival [DeepSeek](https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/2544189D:CH) is using unfair and increasingly sophisticated methods to extract results from leading US AI models to train the next generation of its breakthrough R1 chatbot, according to a memo reviewed by Bloomberg News.
In the [memo](https://assets.bwbx.io/documents/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/rRmql_jJcxb4/v0), sent Thursday to the House Select Committee on China, OpenAI said that DeepSeek had used so-called distillation techniques as part of “ongoing efforts to free-ride on the capabilities developed by OpenAI and other US frontier labs.” The company said it had detected “new, obfuscated methods” designed to evade OpenAI’s defenses against misuse of its models’ output.
