Also, have there been examples of researchers not affiliated with OpenAI (or another LLM creator), who have done something similar? Another question I have is whether or not OpenAI 'simply' hired capable combinatorics researchers to work on problems, and they have, and the use of the model is incidental / secondary to their work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

> Also, have there been examples of researchers not affiliated with OpenAI (or another LLM creator), who have done something similar? A couple small ones that I've seen (example here [0]), but not anything of the magnitude that OpenAI and Anthropic have put out. Likely just related to token limits. > Another question I have is whether or not OpenAI 'simply' hired capable combinatorics researchers to work on problems, and they have, and the use of the model is incidental / secondary to their work. I think their output has reached a level that precludes this possibility, but I of course don't have any hard proof.
