Tristan Buckmaster, an NYU mathematics professor, has detailed his interactions with OpenAI employees regarding a math-proof controversy. Buckmaster inquired about the timing of OpenAI's first prompt, which was eventually revealed to have been sent after OpenAI learned of his and Levent Alpöge's work. He also questioned whether the OpenAI model was trained on or had access to their project drafts stored in Codex. While OpenAI stated the model doesn't access user data, they did not directly answer the training question. Buckmaster was presented with two proposals: jointly publishing their Euler result alongside OpenAI's Navier-Stokes result, or for Buckmaster to author a paper crediting an internal OpenAI model for the Navier-Stokes solution. Sebastien Bubeck repeatedly insisted on removing Levent Alpöge from authorship, citing his employment at Anthropic as a complicating factor. It was also suggested that OpenAI's early release would position Buckmaster and Alpöge as close to the problem, potentially deserving of a prize. Buckmaster rejected both proposals, stating he would go public if OpenAI proceeded as suggested. He was then warned that such action could ruin his career, to which he responded by questioning the reasoning behind that assertion. The OpenAI representative then threatened to cease being "nice" if Buckmaster did not comply.
