Reminds me, kinda, to when Astra was launched and OpenAI announced an improvement to the bounded prime gap. Which BTW, Prof. Julia Stadlmann had published an independent result only a few days earlier
Stadlmann improved it from 246 to 240, OpenAI later claimed 186 I think?
Maybe someone can help clarify? I am no expert at all, but I can't help but see similarities.

- kzrdude 25d agoWhat's the clarification? It seems like they were aware of each other's work, eventually, but Stadlmann published (a preprint) first.
- beering 24d agoIs it surprising that different groups are working on the same problems? With each new model generation, the LLMs get good enough to solve a new small fraction of open problems. Of course the problems that get solved are going to be the same subset.
- mswphd 24d agoif Stadlmann used a previous OpenAI product, and Astra was trained off of her chat, and had a comparable approach, then it might be comparable.
