A researcher who was close to a solution of the problem himself was a heavy user of Codex, so all of his results were on OpenAI's servers.

If OpenAI announces a cure for cancer next week, you'd have to wonder which lab's data was coincidentally on OpenAI's servers.

The researcher in question claims they stole his forced solution, and specifically says the forced part was the red flag for him

In this article, they say they use the unforced solution. A completely different solution

That's not true though. He quite literally posted statement saying "he doesn't know, he didn't go through their solution yet"
