Source of OpenAI's claim that an internal model resolved 100+ long-standing open math problems; creates an IAS-hosted review body.
Summary
OpenAI post on Sept 21, 2026 announcing an independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and AI hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study (nine mathematicians incl. Timothy Gowers, Edward Witten, Martin Hairer, Camillo De Lellis) to assess the significance of AI-generated results and coordinate their release. It states that an internal model (training began Aug 28) "has now resolved more than 100 long-standing open problems across most areas of mathematics" beyond Navier-Stokes, and that its pace surprised OpenAI's own mathematicians, but gives no list, preprints or model name. The group explicitly will not advise on how OpenAI paces its internal math progress. It followed the Fields Medallists' open letter and the Navier-Stokes controversy. Reported by TechCrunch, The Decoder and mixed-news.com; openai.com is 403 to fetchers, so the text was verified via press quotes.
