memorization versus reasoning is a false dichotomy.

almost all machine learning systems can go beyond their training data.

the question is how far they can go (only within distribution? out of distribution accessibly? reliably out of distribution? etc).

since OpenAI hasn’t

Completely misses the point. Nobody is suggesting that solving IMO problems is useful for math research. The point is that AI has become really good at complex reasoning, and is not just memorizing its training data. It can handle completely new IMO questions designed by a

The statement 'also true' is a brief agreement with a previous comment in a conversation about AI's capabilities in solving complex problems like those in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The conversation involves a debate on the validity of AI achievements and their implications for machine learning and reasoning.
