Reminds me, kinda, to when Astra was launched and OpenAI announced an improvement to the bounded prime gap. Which BTW, Prof. Julia Stadlmann had published an independent result only a few days earlier

Stadlmann improved it from 246 to 240, OpenAI later claimed 186 I think?

Maybe someone can help clarify? I am no expert at all, but I can't help but see similarities.

What's the clarification? It seems like they were aware of each other's work, eventually, but Stadlmann published (a preprint) first.
