Anthropic seems to be challenging the traditional way math gets published. As far as I understand, these results did not get submitted to journals, and did not get Arxiv preprints; they are released only as self-hosted pdfs, and we don't even know the names of their authors.

The canonical reference for the counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture is a tweet with no puntuations nor capitals.

As far as I can tell, Arxiv does not allow an AI to be listed as the author, so publishing there would not have been an option.

I've cited letters from Serre to Tate in my dissertation: this is the source for what's known as Faltings-Serre.
