OpenAI says, while unlikely, it "cannot rule out that de-identified data derived" from Buckmaster's and Alpöge's use of its products helped improve its models (OpenAI)
OpenAI denies anyone used Buckmaster and Alpöge’s private work to solve Navier-Stokes, but leaves a narrow training-data caveat open.
OpenAI says its researchers and agents did not see the pair’s work before it was public, and that no specific user data was accessed for the result. It also says de-identified data from their use of OpenAI products may have helped improve models, though it calls that unlikely. The note lands inside a fight over whether OpenAI’s internal model effort benefited from the mathematicians’ unpublished work. Techmeme's note
