Did it.... Or did they steal the solution from someone?

Article goes into detail how it was solved, and why previous approaches failed. It does not appear to have stolen anyone else's ideas.

By the nature of LLMs and how they work, stealing people's ideas is all they do...

They probably scaned a manuscript from some unheard of eastern european mathmatician that wrote in some long forgoten Cyrilic "heres how you can work it out. Im going to leave working out the cypher as an excercise for the reader... Look, its a cypher, its easier to prove the math that solves it than it is to acctually solve it. Thats how cyphers work"

It was 45 minutes of Fable 5.1 thinking. Million tokens goes for something like 50 dollars. It really isn't the type of money that bankrupts you.

EDIT: Those large bills are normally for programming jobs where AI can output thousands of lines.
