OpenAI announces three scientific discoveries and new academic collaboration process

OpenAI announced three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics, less than a month after releasing hundreds of manuscripts claiming solutions to long-standing math problems. The company is introducing a new approach where external experts will guide reviews of the findings, though mathematicians have expressed caution about OpenAI's claim regarding the Exponential Time Hypothesis after past misfires.

Top claims

  • ▪OpenAI claimed its models proved Christopher Sogge's local smoothing conjecture for the Euclidean wave equation in every spatial dimension of at least two.
  • ▪A physics group led by Nobel laureate David Gross decided to defer releasing the raw AI physics data to write up their own academic interpretation.
  • ▪OpenAI withdrew three preprints and revised 14 others following a sign error discovered after its mass release of 722 preprints covering 372 math problems on October 6, 2026.
