OpenAI's hidden Lean proof for Yang-Mills claim draws community mockery
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-11-01
Drama is brewing around OpenAI's claimed proof of the Yang-Mills Millennium Problem: the Lean formalization file is not public, only the company's word that it exists. Mathematician Elliot Glazer notes this is the worst possible problem for such secrecy — the one announced result where outsiders can't even tell what exactly is being claimed. teortaxesTex mocks the situation: Lean proofs got hidden just like chain-of-thought, with proofs declared company IP, echoing frustration that the community gets no verifiable evidence.
