Tristan Buckmaster and Levent Alpöge resolved a forced-Euler blow-up variant; OpenAI recognized their priority after September rumors.
Per OpenAI’s public account of September 8, 2026, September 1 rumors about Millennium resolutions were actually tied to Tristan Buckmaster (NYU) and Levent Alpöge (Anthropic) on forced Euler.
After finishing its own project, OpenAI contacted them, recognized their priority on forced Euler, and offered coordination. Precise results differ (forced vs unforced Euler).
The episode shows how mathematical priority and AI communications must coexist: human credit remains central.
