The proofs would only need to be well on their way enough that the only thing needed to finish it were thousands of terawatthours of energy. Something which the mathematician having their work stolen does not have.

They claim that each solution only needed 3 hours on the next generation public model, iiuc. So this theory doesn't really hold up.

I’m not super inclined to believe a word coming from OpenAI until these results have been replicated.
