OpenAI's Lean-formalized conjectures await expert review; firm calls it raw data
maier_ak · x · 2026-10-29
A discussion of a formalized math research effort: its six main statements are formalized in Lean, checkable with the open Comparator tool, relying only on the three standard axioms; the trusted statements read like the standard conjectures. What's still missing: experts confirming the formal statements match the original conjectures, and a human reading of the full argument. No specialist has assessed it publicly, and OpenAI itself calls it raw research data.
