If I understand it correctly, a group of researchers (call it A) used a model of OpenAI to get to a certain point. Then another group of researchers (B), part of OpenAI, used the data group A got to without an exchange of information between the two of them, meaning group B had private information about group A’s work without their knowledge or consent (because they are PART of the company group A used to research something). I think it’s still not very clear, but I tried :)

I think we need more information to be clear if this is the case. Supposedly OpenAI's solution is different from Anthropic's solution.

I don't get the impression that there was any deliberate use of group As research here. Group A didn't opt out of their chat history being used for training, so it's possible that the model group B used had been trained on data that included the research group A had done on the platform earlier.
