    OpenAI accused of math problem foul play

    NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster just accused OpenAI of copying his approach to the $1M Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem and using its massive compute to beat him to the punch. OpenAI published its own proof shortly after and denied the claims, stating an unreleased next-gen model found the solution independently. Why it matters: The clash puts a harsh spotlight on AI research ethics and whether frontier labs are playing fair with independent researchers.

    Midjourney wants AI to stop writing boring stories

    Midjourney just teamed up with NYU researchers to tackle AI's biggest creative flaw: bland, repetitive writing. By introducing two new training methods called DDPO and DORPO, they reward rare and unique high-quality responses during fine-tuning on models like Llama 3.1. It turns out the image generator has serious ambitions for text, too.
