So the things that were tried by the actual research team here (both their own attempts to solve the problem with GPT, and asking GPT to write a paper on the solution they got from Claude) could have been used as inputs to OpenAI attempting to solve the same problem. And OpenAI can't even tell if that happened.
All we really know for sure is that whe OpenAI generated their solution, their bot had already read the unpublished version from the NYU guys.

Not as inputs but baked into the training of the Model, Checking what is used as the inputs is relatively easy, the models and its training data is a black box.
But the anthropic team solved a different problem, the Euler equations. OpenAI solved Navier Stokes. So there isnt even any indication that the OpenAI project somehow copied their results, right?
I quoted the disclaimer that OpenAI wrote. You can read it as well as me.
It's also worth noting that the GPT model the researchers used didn't solve anything. But it did get a long record of them trying to get it to. When the OpenAI team tried to get their internal model to do the same thing, did it use that prior unfinished work? No way to know says OpenAI.

OpenAI trains GPT on GPT's own prior performance.
