OpenAI jumped the gun before *the closing party* - didn't even let the kids celebrate their winning properly before stealing the spotlight

> In response to the controversy, OpenAI research scientist Noam Brown posted on X, "We weren't in touch with IMO. I spoke with one organizer before the post to let him know. He requested we wait until after the closing ceremony ends to respect the kids, and we did."

> However, an IMO coordinator told X user Mikhail Samin that OpenAI actually announced before the closing ceremony, contradicting Brown's claim. The coordinator called OpenAI's actions "rude and inappropriate," noting that OpenAI "wasn't one of the AI companies that cooperated with the IMO on testing their models."
