- METR, F (against): The no-lab-money rule is recent and its wording has moved: absent from the April 2024 page, a compensation footnote in April 2025, 'has not accepted funding from AI companies' with free-credit language from August 2025, and a September 2025 footnote that donations from individual lab employees are accepted. An OpenAI technical lead is named among individual donors.
