Tristan Buckmaster, NYU Mathematics professor:
OpenAI poured millions of dollars of compute into these unsolved Math problems.
“it was sort of a life or death situation, becasue if Anthropic solved a Millennium Prize problem (first), it would show they had better internal models”

NYU mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster alleged on CNBC that OpenAI may have used research data from his personal Codex/ChatGPT account to reproduce, in a single day using tens of thousands of agents, the nearly completed results on the Euler equations that he and his collaborators had been working on. He also claimed that during negotiations, OpenAI offered him “sole authorship” as an inducement and threatened to destroy his career; OpenAI denied that his prompts had influenced its systems.
