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.

So much of the discussion here is about being a non-profit, but per your quote I think the key is open source. Here we have people investing in an open source company, and the company never opened their source. Rather than open source technology everyone could profit from, they kept everything closed and sold exclusive access. I think it is going to be hard for OpenAI to defend their behavior, and a huge amount of damages to be claimed for all the money investors had to spend catching up.

Huh? There's no secret to building these LLM-based "AI"s - they all use the same "transformer" architecture that was published by Google. You can find step-by-step YouTube tutorials on how to build one yourself if you want to.

All that OpenAI did was build a series of progressively larger transformers, trained on progressively larger training sets, and document how the capabilities expanded as you scaled them up. Anyone paying attention could have done the same at any stage if they wanted to.

The expense of recreating what OpenAI have built isn't in having to recreate some secret architecture that OpenAI have kept secret. The expense is in obtaining the training data and training the model.
