OpenAI has stated that an unreleased internal AI model has produced major results on long-standing unsolved problems in pure mathematics.[^1]

722 manuscripts containing 372 reported research findings were uploaded to GitHub on 2026-10-06.[^2] The published claims include an expanded zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function, a solution to the four-dimensional Kakeya conjecture, and an extension to the proof of Hilbert's 10th Problem.[^3][^4]

GitHub data shows the associated openai/math repository had 8,728 stars as of 2026-10-07.[^5]
