OpenAI has published a collection of 722 mathematical papers generated by an unreleased artificial intelligence model. The papers cover 372 open problems spanning algebra and theoretical computer science.[^1]

The organisation announced on October 6, 2026 that the model attempted roughly 4,000 unsolved problems while producing the manuscript set.[^3]

OpenAI's own GPT-5.6 Sol model described one high-profile result from the collection as a serious hallucination. That single result should not be cited or circulated as a proof without a complete expert audit.[^2]
