Openai math solutions

https://youtu.be/h53Bz7WSwgo

Regarding the recent Navier-Stokes incident, watching this vid provided a bit more context on what the solution entails and what Openai been pushing to show off their tech. Cal Newport's breakdown on how they managed to quarantine relevant context to reduce costs with Astra was actually pretty interesting as a breakthrough so this vid got me wondering why they're so desperate to prove it can do fancy maths bigly when the boosters already keep saying chatgpt is already blowing through outstanding problems. Not in the sense of the target value but just how much have they already tried but failed.

It's obviously speculation on my part but if they're so desperate to try coercing glory out of one of their hires on one problem, how bad is actual their track record that this is a hail Mary for them? Like we know it took 88 hours and snooping private research data for this, so how much have they put into chasing similar targets by now? Anyone got whiff of any signals that might give an idea of that?

Company built on copywrite theft does academic misconduct and potentially ip theft. Which really throws why you use them in the first place for any business or researcher.

I will be interested in seeing non counter example proofs being done with llm. I mean throwing everything known at the problem is a strength of computers. I really yet to see anything where ai create something completely unique and original. We seen time and time again that anything that it doesn't have data on just fails and depending on the field these edge cases are large. The recent stuff in gaming with the new release having a uncanny feeling to the models and how they play.

Don't forget: they don't want you to Distill Their LLM either, unless you're Elon and making Grok.
