The big story Research
OpenAI publishes 719 math manuscripts on 372 open problems, all from one unreleased model
OpenAI released a GitHub catalogue of results from an internal model it posed about 4,000 open problems, including work on a zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function. Each result averaged three hours of ChatGPT Pro compute. About 42% of the headline results come with Lean proofs; mathematicians have yet to check the rest.
Why it matters: A lab can now produce research faster than the field can referee it. The bottleneck has moved from finding proofs to verifying them.
