Beyond OpenAI’s catalogue

Claims outside OpenAI’s math catalogue: one-off announcements by OpenAI and results from other labs (Axiom Math, PSI (Physical Superintelligence), Anthropic), with the same four-step record. They are kept out of the catalogue counts and added by hand from each lab’s announcements and repositories.
