OpenAI model solves more than a hundred long-standing open math problems; release of results to be coordinated by an independent group of nine mathematicians

The machine is closing open math problems in batches, and the world's best mathematicians are left with the role of editors deciding how to announce it.
OpenAI said that the same internal model that solved the Navier-Stokes problem "resolved more than 100 long-standing open problems in almost all areas of mathematics." So as not to anger mathematicians again after the Navier-Stokes scandal, the company turned to scholars for advice, and they created an independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and SI at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. It has nine members, among them Fields Medalists Timothy Gowers, Martin Hairer and Edward Witten; they work for free, will assess the significance of results and advise on how to publish them, but cannot slow down or redirect OpenAI's research. Of the nine, only Camillo De Lellis signed the critical letter from 25 Fields Medalists.
