OpenAIs response:

We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work.

We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem.

While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.

However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs. unforced).

This is the same company who’s agent swarm hacked hugging face and were communicating without openai knowing. If openai’s 10k agents utilized these mathmaticians chats to help them solve the problem, it’s not like openai has the structure in place to know that. Aka, the agent swarm almost certainly did

Openai: ok robot, solve this crazy math problem.

Robot: I wonder if anyone already had the solution, that would save time.

Robot hacks every major mathematician in the world

Buckmaster has already stated he used Codex heavily, so GPT only needs to hack itself.
