OpenAI releases 300+ math solutions, including a 4-D Kakeya problem proof

OpenAI has released over 300 solutions to open math problems, reportedly including:
- A proof of a zero-free strip for the Riemann Zeta function
- A proof of the Hodge conjecture for CM abelian varieties
- A 4-D Kakeya problem result — notably, Hong Wang just won the Fields medal this summer for the 3-D Kakeya proof (Wang-Zahl)
If verified, this would mark a major milestone for AI at the frontier of mathematical research.
