Public outputs and expert examination
The October 26 event was a public release and collaboration announcement. OpenAI dated the underlying ETH output to October 16 and the local smoothing output to October 18, with formalization the following days. The company released math and computer-science artifacts while leaving the physics materials with an external group. These dates and release choices do not establish independent scientific acceptance of the claimed results. [1]
