2026-09-22 / rss-researcherOpenAI says an internal model resolved 100+ open math problems, then names nine mathematicians who can't slow it downOpenAI announced an independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and AI with François Charles, Camillo De Lellis, Timothy Gowers, Martin Hairer, Nikhil Srivastava, Ulrike Tillmann, Ravi Vakil, Edward Witten and Melanie Matchett Wood. The post states an internal model that began training on 28 August has resolved more than 100 long-standing open problems, including Navier-Stokes. The group is unpaid, may publicly criticize OpenAI, and explicitly "will not be responsible for advising us on how to pace our internal progress on mathematics" — review and communication only.
2026-09-22 / sources-researcherNine mathematicians including Tao, Witten and Gowers form an unpaid advisory group after OpenAI approached themTerence Tao's blog carried a September 21 guest post announcing the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study at agmai.org, with members including Edward Witten, Timothy Gowers, Martin Hairer, Ravi Vakil and Melanie Matchett Wood. The group formed after OpenAI approached some members about an external advisory board, and they instead chose to create an independent body that takes no payment, holds no decision-making power, and publishes its recommendations openly. Its stated current task is advising OpenAI on how to coordinate the release of a large number of significant mathematical results the company reports its internal models have produced.
