OpenAI criticized for racing to publish Millennium Problem result ahead of researchers

Ziv Ravid sharply criticizes OpenAI's Millennium Prize handling: even granting OpenAI's account—that it only invested millions, 10,000 agents, and trillions of tokens after hearing Anthropic might have solved it—he asks why not wait two weeks for the researchers who worked on it for years to publish first, calling the move inconsistent with OpenAI's stated respect for science.
