OpenAI's math claims criticized for skipping peer review, inverting the proper process

Blogger JFPuget argues OpenAI should submit claimed mathematical results to recognized peer-reviewed venues before announcing them. The issue is process, not results: OpenAI did it backwards—claim first, review later. He notes the Clay Institute requires thorough peer review plus a two-year delay before recognizing millennium-problem solutions. A self-described happy Codex user, he objects to the hubris around AI achievements.
