Mathematicians want proof OpenAI didn’t use their work
Mathematician Andreas Thom publicly accused OpenAI of opacity over whether ChatGPT conversations contributed to its non-sofic groups mathematics result.
A second mathematician, Andreas Thom, accused OpenAI of 'dishonest' behavior and insufficient transparency about training data after OpenAI announced a result in non-sofic groups, Thom's area of expertise. He emailed OpenAI researchers Sébastien Bubeck and Mark Sellke asking whether his ChatGPT interactions fed training or reasoning, but found the answers did not rule out indirect use. The dispute follows Tristan Buckmaster's questions about the Millennium Prize Navier-Stokes solution, where OpenAI denied using specific user data but could not rule out de-identified usage data. Researchers told The Verge they worry such competition with AI labs will make mathematics more secretive.

Decomposition-Guided Diffusion Language Models for Inertial Confinement Fusion Prediction
ICF-DLM, the first language-model-based inertial confinement fusion predictor, cuts peak-timing error from 11.6 to 9.2 steps versus LLaMA-3-8B.
Each National Ignition Facility shot costs roughly one million dollars, motivating accurate AI surrogates for predicting 512-step neutron-rate waveforms from laser pulses and target parameters. ICF-DLM combines physics-typed decomposition into yield, peak timing, and local waveform; bidirectional denoising that defers commitment to peak location; and a physics-driven PPO reward. On ICFBench (50,000 simulations plus 232 experimental shots) it outperforms a matched autoregressive LLaMA-3-8B, classical sequence models, and LLM-based time-series predictors.
