OpenAI model trained just 24 days ago reportedly solves 100+ open math problems

A widely circulated report claims OpenAI's new internal model, which began training only 24 days ago, has already resolved over 100 long-standing open problems across most areas of mathematics — a pace that surprised even OpenAI's own mathematicians.
An independent group including Edward Witten, Timothy Gowers and Martin Hairer is helping assess the results and coordinate their release.
Quoting the thread, Ryan Greenblatt (dioscuri) adds that he looks forward to such models being applied to philosophy, though he expects progress will be measured by how many problems they generate rather than solve.
