Open problems turned into RL environments: benchmarks and RL envs are two sides of the same coin

Commenting on the news that a lab turned open math problems into a benchmark, burnytech says he isn't surprised: math RL training requires math RL environments, and RL environments can double as benchmarks (and vice versa) — suggesting that frontier labs' RL environment building and benchmark creation are effectively the same effort.
