An unreleased OpenAI model solved more than 100 open math problems
This story was updated after publication (Oct. 9, 2026). Details
The company says the model began training on August 28 and, in under a month, solved over 100 open problems spanning most areas of mathematics. An independent advisory group of mathematicians was then convened at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, including Timothy Gowers, Martin Hairer, Edward Witten and Ravi Vakil. The claim has not been independently verified: OpenAI published neither the list of problems nor the proofs. Earlier, 25 Fields medalists signed an open letter criticizing how the Navier-Stokes announcement was handled.

Corrections and updates
- After this story was published, OpenAI released 722 manuscripts produced by the internal model on GitHub on October 6, many of them with Lean formalizations; independent verification by the mathematics community is ongoing.
