OpenAI stated on 26 October 2026 that an unreleased internal AI model produced three major mathematical proof results. [^1]

The model proved the Kakeya conjecture for all spatial dimensions, resolved the existence component of the Yang-Mills Millennium Prize Problem, and refuted the 1999 Exponential Time Hypothesis. [^2] Prior work had only confirmed the Kakeya conjecture for 2D and 3D. [^3] Hours after OpenAI's announcement, Anthropic published an independent separate disproof of the Exponential Time Hypothesis. [^4]

OpenAI released no model source code, computation logs, prompts, or chain of thought data alongside the announced proofs. [^5] The lab stated it is not seeking academic credit for these results, and the model used remains unreleased. [^6]
