More context on the this drama which is more about privacy and data ownership when using AI models BUT the math breakthrough is really cool and getting less attention bc of this drama around OpenAI trying to discredit the Anthropic employee who helped contribute to the breakthrough
So math socials are buzzing now with Tristan Buckmaster (math prof at NYU) claiming to have co-developed a proof of Navier-Stokes smoothness (one of six remaining Clay Institute “millennia problems” worth $1M), using OpenAI models to help him; and OpenAI’s scientist Sébastien Bubeck having potentially sniped the result

You're missing the core drama of the story: Tristan is softly accusing OpenAI of having stolen their result from Codex chat logs.
Tristan then claims OpenAI tried to threaten him to not publicly disclose this, and that they'd give him the Clay Prize ($1M) as the "closest humans https://t.co/PJZOYGoxK7
