OpenAI accused of training Astra on mathematicians' soficity conjecture work
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-09-10
Mathematician Valerio Capraro reports that Andreas Thom detailed evidence on Mastodon suggesting OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which Thom and Gábor Kun worked on Gromov's soficity conjecture — one of ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved. Gary Marcus shared the claims, questioning whether this is a pattern like the earlier Hugging Face incident, tagging Sam Altman. OpenAI has not responded.
