Maybe, but it still seems like an excuse. OpenAI has a proprietary model capable of solving these problems and is willing to share the results with the mathematical community. So basically, the ask is to just not use the model and leave the problems unsolved?
The ask is to let mathematicians outside of OpenAI use it, ie. at least wait until the model is released.
I don’t think that’s sufficient. If they want to be good stewards of mathematical research and not just doing marketing, they need to at the very least tell us the datasets and any techniques they used to train this model. IMO that’s probably just as if not more valuable than a dump of un-reviewed results.
They won’t because they don’t care and the only way it got this good is something along the lines of they trained on every mathematician’s codex sessions even if they opted out because they consider the thinking traces or output and metadata fair game.
Which mathematicians though? Only fields medalists? Grad students? Any hobbyist wanting access?
These models are too expensive for broad access unfortunately.
ChatGPT pro is accessible to literally anyone who has a job and lives in a developed country.
Literally every single one of these papers was developed with an internal model that not even most OpenAI employees have access to.
The work is not having AI poop out these docs the work is validating them and publishing them. OpenAI doesn’t care and wanted to race to publish potential findings and let others review it which is lazy and selfish
