What was said
"Right now we have paced the frontier most recently by actually holding back our most powerful model partially because we want to make sure it's the safety and alignment is at a place where our researchers have had time to really think it through. That model is the model that solved the Navier Stokes Millennium Math problem and also about 350 more theorems have certainly moved along."
Sarah Friar says OpenAI has held back its “most powerful model” while it reviews safety and alignment. She also claims the withheld model solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem and advanced about 350 other theorems, without offering verification details in the clip.
