OpenAI’s maths breakthrough claim has become a fight over credit and trust
OpenAI’s claim that an artificial intelligence system solved a famous mathematics problem has triggered a wider dispute over credit, research data and corporate power. The claimed result has not completed independent mathematical review.
The immediate argument involves New York University professor Tristan Buckmaster, mathematician Levent Alpöge, who works at Anthropic, and OpenAI researcher Sébastien Bubeck. Their accounts of private conversations differ.
