Sebastien Bubeck shares technical context: OpenAI started working on Millennium problems after viral Twitter rumors that Anthropic had resolved two of them; the teams worked independently, with significantly different proofs (differing even on forced vs unforced Euler results). Critics call the whole episode a Twitter-driven race where Anthropic missed its window.
