Researchers are getting tired of OpenAI gatekeeping its breakthroughs
TL;DR
On Monday, OpenAI announced impressive breakthroughs in mathematics, computer science, and physics, along with what the company says is an evolving approach to communicating its findings. But despite its apparent course correction, researchers who spoke to The Verge are growing increasingly tired of the company's antics. It has been a turbulent few months between OpenAI and mathematicians, who are still grappling with the hundreds of preprints unceremoniously dumped on them at the start of October.
Nauti's Take
For AI teams, source quality comes first. Until the methods, datasets, and full papers are available, keep these results on a watchlist before considering them for production workflows.
At the first release, check whether the shepherds enable independent scrutiny, which artifacts are public, and whether external researchers can reproduce the claims.
