Full timeline

Year Month and date Event type Details
2015 December 11 OpenAI is announced to the public. (The news articles from this period make it sound like OpenAI launched sometime after this date.)[1][2][3]
2016 April 27 The public beta of OpenAI Gym, an open source toolkit that provides environments to test AI bots, is released.[4][5][6]
2016 June 21 Publication "Concrete Problems in AI Safety" is submitted to the arXiv.[7]
2016 July 8 "Adversarial Examples in the Physical World" is published. One of the authors is Ian Goodfellow, who is at OpenAI at the time.[8]
2016 November 15 A partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft's artificial intelligence division is announced. As part of the partnership, Microsoft provides a price reduction on computing resources to OpenAI through Microsoft Azure.[9][10]
2016 December OpenAI's Universe, "a software platform for measuring and training an AI's general intelligence across the world's supply of games, websites and other applications", is released.[11][12][13]
2017 March Grant The Open Philanthropy Project awards a grant of $30 million to OpenAI for general support.[14]
2017 April 6 "Learning to Generate Reviews and Discovering Sentiment" is published.[15]
2017 June 12 "Deep reinforcement learning from human preferences" is first uploaded to the arXiv. The paper is a collaboration between researchers at OpenAI and Google DeepMind.[16][17][18]
2017 August 12 OpenAI's Dota 2 bot beats Danil "Dendi" Ishutin, a professional human player, (and possibly others?) in one-on-one battles.[19][20][21]
2017 September 13 "Learning with Opponent-Learning Awareness" is first uploaded to the arXiv.[22][23]
2017 October 11 RoboSumo, a game that simulates sumo wrestling for AI to learn to play, is released.[24][25]
2017 December The 2017 AI Index is published. OpenAI contributed to the report.[26]
2018 February 20 Publication The report "The Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence: Forecasting, Prevention, and Mitigation" is published. The report forecasts malicious use of artificial intelligence in the short term and makes recommendations on how to mitigate these risks from AI. The report is authored by individuals at Future of Humanity Institute, Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, OpenAI, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Center for a New American Security, and other institutions.[27][28][29][30][31]
2018 February 20 OpenAI announces changes in donors and advisors. New donors are: Jed McCaleb, Gabe Newell, Michael Seibel, Jaan Tallinn, and Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton. Reid Hoffman is "significantly increasing his contribution". Pieter Abbeel (previously at OpenAI), Julia Galef, and Maran Nelson become advisors. Elon Musk departs the board but remains as a donor and advisor.[32][30]
2018 March 3 OpenAI will host a hackathon.[33]

"I'm assuming something will happen there." That too will require some serious hardware.
