Promise Their own work or organisation

OpenAI will hold a livestream with a launch or demo each weekday during its '12 days of openai' starting 2024-12-05 at 10am Pacific.

Delivered on time The record shows it happened or was so.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

True: OpenAI held a livestream with a launch or demo on each of the 12 weekdays from 5 December 2024 through about 20 December 2024, as shown by OpenAI's YouTube or X archive or by reporting. Mostly true: all 12 weekday sessions took place with a launch or demo, but with a minor variation (e.g. one session was a short video or blog post rather than a livestream, or the start time differed). Mostly false: several weekdays were skipped, or many sessions had no launch or demo. False: the series did not take place or was cut off early.

Set before the research began.

Reasoning

Ars Technica's recap (E1) says that over the 12 business days of "12 days of OpenAI," OpenAI announced a new product or demoed an AI feature every weekday. TechCrunch (E2, E3) describes the series as announcement streams shown live at 10 a.m. PT each weekday through December 20, and E2 reports the last stream taking place. Simon Willison's live blog (E4) covers the 12th-day event at 10am San Francisco time on 2024-12-20. Taken together, these independent sources show the series ran in full, with a launch or demo each weekday, by the deadline.
