OpenAI Math·372 results·17 subjects

OpenAI's maths results, explained

In September and October 2026 OpenAI published a catalogue of 372 mathematical results it says its AI proved, from the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture to the crossing number of complete graphs. Every result has a page here: what the problem asks, what OpenAI claims, the preprints, and the 3D animation once it is out. 35 results have a video so far and 1 have a full write-up.

These are preprints, not peer-reviewed publications. We explain the claims; we don't certify them.
