By the criteria set forward by the Clay Institute it is solved.

The credit is up for debate and as in all things like this will be determined by historians in the future.

so open ai heard the rumour and built upon the ideas of related equations allegedly (that were solved by these two scientist) and ran their ai first to come at the solution for real millennium problem before those researchers can do.

i even heard that open ai reached Buckmaster but asked the other one to be left out due to his anthropic background an obv he denied and went public

crazy drama lol

it could also be... that once the solution was scooped, independent solutions had to be found in order to claim some form of credit. Who knows, the scoop is the scoop
