Openi may soon request organizations to complete an ID verification process in order to access certain models of AI Future, according to a support page published on the company’s website last week.
The verification process, called the verified organization, is “a new way for developers to unlock access to the most advanced models and features on the Openii platform”, reads the page. The verification requires an ID issued by the government by one of the countries supported by the API of Openi. An ID can only check one organization every 90 days and not all organizations will be entitled to verification, says Openai.
“In Openi, we take our responsibility seriously to ensure that the IA is widely accessible and used safely,” reads the page. “Unfortunately, a small minority of developers intentionally uses the Openai bees in violation of our use policies. We are adding the process of verification to mitigate the unwilling use of the AI, continuing to make the models advanced available for the wider community of developers.”
Openi has released a new state of the organization verified as a new way for developers to unlock access to the most advanced models and skills on the platform and to be ready for the “next exciting release of models”

The new verification process could be intended to strengthen safety around Openi products as they become more sophisticated and capable. The company has published several relationships on its efforts to detect and mitigate the harmful use of its models, also by groups presumably based in North Korea.
It can also be aimed at preventing the theft of IP. According to a Bloomberg report at the beginning of this year, Openi was investigating whether a group connected to Deepseek, the IA Lab based in China, threw large quantities of data through its bees at the end of 2024, probably for the training models-a violation of the terms of Openi.
Openi blocked access to his services in China last summer.
