US tech giant OpenAI on Tuesday said it had solved one of the hardest problems in mathematics with an unreleased artificial intelligence model after just 88 hours – and millions of dollars' worth of computing power. But a US mathematician and a researcher at rival Anthropic allege that OpenAI only took up the problem after it had gotten wind of their own AI-assisted efforts to crack the challenge which had demanded months to craft a radically distinctive approach.
OpenAI said Tuesday that one of its unreleased artificial intelligence models had solved a mathematical puzzle that has eluded mathematicians for generations, in a claim which also drew a fight with rival researchers over credit.
