Experts Say OpenAI's Latest Math Breakthroughs Commit Research Misconduct
marigo · x · 2026-09-07
OpenAI released 10 AI-generated math advances from its next-gen model Astra, claiming each resolves long-standing open problems for just $2,000 in token costs. But mathematicians reviewing the 250-page paper say at least two of the most exciting results incorporate preexisting ideas from recent literature without proper citation—contradicting OpenAI's press release—and amount to research misconduct, per Scientific American.
