OpenAI researcher allegedly pressured mathematician to drop Anthropic co-author from math breakthrough paper

Summary

Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster says an OpenAI researcher pressured him after information about his AI-assisted progress on the Navier-Stokes equations allegedly reached the company. The researcher tried to remove his co-author because he works at Anthropic and threatened Buckmaster when he refused, according to Buckmaster's account. OpenAI then claimed its own breakthrough using the same unusual solution path. Buckmaster had uploaded all his drafts to Codex. OpenAI told him the model didn't look up user data, but when he asked about training, he says he got no answer. OpenAI denies the allegations.
