I'm going to be the cynical one and offer this translation: "Our results are too important to wait for the pesky peer review, so we are dumping a whole ton of money in a fund and giving some elites a breathless first look so our buzz keeps getting jacked up."
The reality that Science is a grind and there are thousands of new results every year discovered by regular humans who use a regular human process to cross-check and review.
Treating every result from the AI like a gift from god is getting tiring.

Solving Kakeya in three dimensions was worth a Fields Medal.

Regular human processes, it turns out, have been a bottleneck that AI is now removing. AI is now routinely popping problems that have routinely stumped humans for decades or centuries.

Science doesn't have to be a grind with AI.
These are really big results from AI, if a human had come up with them we would also be making a really big deal out of them too (maybe not as big of a deal, part of the excitement is that this was from AI and more results of this magnitude may soon follow).
