Should AI labs publish math results directly or wait for gatekeepers' approval?

ChrSzegedy posed the question: if big AI labs care about their math research results, should they just release them or wait for the approval of academic gatekeepers? Chris Brannigan responded "Do not wait for the high priests. Humanity's need is great," arguing for immediate release over traditional peer review.
The exchange highlights a real tension for frontier labs publishing RL-driven math breakthroughs: conference and journal review cycles lag far behind AI iteration speed, and skipping peer review trades quality control and credibility for speed.
