If OpenAI became a non-profit with this in its charter:

“resulting technology will benefit the public and the corporation will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable. The corporation is not organized for the private gain of any person"

I don't think it is going to be hard to show that they are doing something very different than what they said they were going to do.

Is the charter legally binding?

Is it unchangeable?

A single quote doesn't tell us much.

Yes, the charter is legally binding as OpenAI's primary fiduciary obligation. It's akin to a normal corporation's duty to shareholders.

Such mission statements are generally modifiable as long as the new purpose is still charitable. It depends on the bylaws though.
