# OpenAI Events Index of discrete events that touch [[OpenAI]]. The **canonical pages live in `/Events/`** (and deals in `/Deals/`) — this is a curated index that links to them, flags gaps to fill, and grows over time as new beats from the [[OpenAI Calendar]] mature into events. > **Boundary rule (same as the dossier):** one fact, one home. Events live in `/Events/`, deals/contracts in `/Deals/`. This page never duplicates them — it points to them. The lifecycle is: [[OpenAI Calendar]] → [[OpenAI Watch Log]] → `/Events/` page → indexed here. ## Core OpenAI events (in /Events/) - [[Musk v. OpenAI Trial]] — Feb 2024 filing → April 2026 trial → May 18, 2026 jury dismissal on statute-of-limitations grounds; Musk appealing to 9th Circuit ## Adjacent / contextual events (OpenAI appears) These are not primarily OpenAI events but feature it materially: - [[Anthropic Government Ban]] — Feb 2026; Trump admin banned [[Anthropic]] from classified work hours before OpenAI announced its Pentagon contract; the two events are functionally linked - [[2025 Trump Inaugural Fund]] — [[Sam Altman]] $1M contribution - [[TikTok Ban (2020-2025)]] — tech-policy context ## Major deals & partnerships (canonical homes vary) - [[Stargate Project]] — $500B AI infrastructure JV with [[SoftBank]] and Oracle, announced Jan 2025 by Trump - Pentagon classified AI contract ($200M ceiling, Feb 2026) — logged in [[OpenAI Contracts]] - GSA ChatGPT Enterprise partnership ($1/year, Aug 2025) — logged in [[OpenAI Contracts]] - GenAI.mil classified network clearance (May 2026) — logged in [[OpenAI Contracts]] ## Gaps to fill Candidates for standalone event pages: - **OpenAI Board Crisis (November 2023)** — the 72-hour firing and reinstatement of [[Sam Altman]]; the single most revealing event in AI governance history. Currently covered in the [[OpenAI]] company page but warrants its own `/Events/` page given its significance. - **OpenAI For-Profit Conversion (October 2025)** — recapitalization from capped-profit to PBC; the governance event that enabled the $852B valuation and IPO path. Currently covered on the company page. - **OpenAI S-1 Filing (June 2026)** — when the S-1 becomes public, the disclosures will warrant an event page. - **Altman Home Firebombing (April 2026)** — the attack on [[Sam Altman]]'s San Francisco home days after the "New Deal for AI" publication; currently mentioned on the company page. (Listed as plain text deliberately — these are to-create candidates, not live links.) ## See Also - [[OpenAI]] — company page - [[OpenAI Dossier]] — dossier front door - [[OpenAI Calendar]] — forward-looking beats - [[OpenAI Watch Log]] — running feed - [[OpenAI Timeline]] — full chronological timeline - [[Events Hub]]
