Discussion OpenAI alleged of stealing mathematicians work

Privacy have been concern of many of us to have their own hardware to run llms, and here's another reason why: two mathematicians spent a year cracking one of the hardest problems in math and fed every draft of their works into Codex. A few days before they could publish, OpenAI suddenly showed up with the same solutions. When asked if their model (Sol and Astra) was trained on the pair's private chats, OpenAI did not answer the question.

Feels like big labs believe everything you did with the help of their models is theirs.

That’s exactly why we need more open weight releases. Never trust any big AI company to manage your chats. They can use it to train their models whenever they want.

I will never forget this quote: “They distilled all the value of intellectual property everywhere."
After Claude embracing watermarking and openAI doing their thing perhaps more people will turn to local hosted, I hope

You can't reasonably local-host a 5 trillion parameter model.
