OpenAI has reportedly developed an internal model capable of solving over 300 previously unsolved mathematical problems across various fields, including algebra, logic, geometry, and probability. Some of these problems touch upon highly complex areas like the Hodge conjecture and the Riemann hypothesis. This development has sparked significant debate within the mathematics community, with some mathematicians describing it as an existential crisis for the field and the most radical change in centuries. However, the results require human verification, and OpenAI has already retracted three articles due to errors, raising questions about the model's accessibility and the extent to which it builds upon existing human work.
