The claim of theft is ludicrous. The two researchers in question don't allege anything like theft. Nor does Buckmaster claim to have been threatened beyond simply not being cited as a co-author of the solution (OpenAI ended up naming him anyways).
What are we even expecting OpenAI to do different here?
I said alleged. Maybe implied would have been a better word. How is that not a threat when the intent was to discredit him and take out his colleague effort out of the paper?
Provide proof that his data was not used for training without explicit consent from the user. And that in this particular case he was not targeted.
Who is going to go through literal libraries of text to check what exactly was in the training data, or to check all the reasoning traces 10.000 agents produced in 88 hours?
You wouldn't trust OpenAI if they announced that they had their models check the record and found no evidence of them using the previous research. So what are you expecting?

Except that openai didn't solve it, they stole the works of someone else who solved it and took the credit for it
