Tech giants. They own the AIs, so frontier math breakthroughs become their proprietary weapons for dominance and cash.
And they control the hardware bottleneck. Even if a breakthrough is open-source, only tech giants have the massive server farms to actually apply that math at scale.
Frontier math serves all. Universities, startups, governments, and common folk gain faster tools and wiser policy, not just the tech giants.
Frontier math is a shared toolkit; when everyone has access, researchers, students, and makers push it forward. Breakthroughs multiply for all, not a monopoly.
