OpenAI's math formalization push called 'greatest gift to mathematics'
basedjensen · x · 2026-10-11
Elliot Glazer reports that the OpenAI-backed theorem formalization effort is still formalizing remaining results — presumably they couldn't finish without substantial delay. Given the broad coverage of these theorems, fully formalizing the repo will require pretty much full formalization of core mathematics. basedjensen comments that OpenAI funding this at its own expense may be the greatest gift it could give to mathematics.
