Qualifications

Mostaque relays OpenAI's post: training started 28 August, pointed at the problem 1 September.

OpenAI's own timeline puts the start of the successful training run on the same day as Brown's reply that nothing had happened, which is consistent but leaves the reply covering only earlier attempts.
The evidence is Mostaque's garbled recounting of a reply to someone, not a verified public statement.

Inferences

Concluded from

None.

Used as a premise in

None.

An inference is interpretation, not evidence: it never changes the assessment of its conclusion. Each premise is a claim with its own evidence.

Threads

None. Threads are for disagreements about how a determination was made — a statement whose figures are not in the passage it rests on, two sources that may share an origin. Something about the world belongs in the evidence above.

Claim edges

None. Edges are stored and displayed; v0.1 does not propagate probability across them.
