Does OpenAI have a policy of not claiming math prizes like this, or is this them trying to avoid any concerns (right or wrong, I'm sure we will hear more in the future) about how they got there?
The prize is what, a million dollars?
OpenAI doesn't need a million dollars.
You’re right, they need way, way more than that
Should buy them about 1/3 of a GB200 server rack, good thing they scooped it.
They definitely need a trillion dollars though, and a million is some of that

Wouldn't be surprising if they did. The prize money isn't worth the almost certainly negative PR.
I don't see how it would be negative PR. If anything, the love these breakthroughs and use it in their PR campaigns.
They don't need to collect the monetary prize to announce the result and use it for marketing.
On the other hand, trying to collect the prize would probably not go uncontested.
