Nine leading mathematicians (Gowers, Hairer, Witten, Vakil, Wood…) formed an unpaid, independent group to advise OpenAI on releasing its 100+ claimed math results.
Summary
Posted on Tao's blog on 21 Sep 2026, the day OpenAI said an internal model had resolved 100+ open problems. AGMAI is hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study. Its members are François Charles, Camillo De Lellis, Timothy Gowers, Martin Hairer, Nikhil Srivastava, Ulrike Tillmann, Ravi Vakil, Edward Witten and Melanie Matchett Wood. It formed after OpenAI approached some members about an external advisory board, and it stresses that it is independent of any AI company and unpaid. Its first task is advising OpenAI on how to coordinate the release of "a large number of significant results". TechCrunch framed it as OpenAI forming a math advisory group. Martin Hairer's guest post "Why I agreed to join AGMAI" followed on 22 Sep. Checked via WebFetch.
