OpenAI releases 722 math papers from unreleased AI model

First reported

Exponential View, Fortune and 1 other ran this on 7 October, all on the same day.

OpenAI's unreleased model proved the quasi-Riemann hypothesis, a long-standing puzzle about prime numbers, though not the full Riemann hypothesis itself.
The model generated papers across 20 math subfields, including over 80 on theoretical computer science, developing new algorithms for matrix and integer multiplication.
For physics and engineering, the model proved versions of De Giorgi's conjecture and clarified questions about Navier-Stokes equations used in liquid flow studies.
