claims that it has made a range of major breakthroughs in mathematics – and appeared to apologise for them.
The company published hundreds of new findings, covering a wide array of mathematical topics, some of which relate to some of the oldest and most important problems in the field. The results came from an experimental model that is yet to be released publicly, OpenAI said, but it published both the findings and the work that had gone into them online.
But OpenAI appeared to acknowledge that the decision to publish them would frustrate mathematicians, who have complained that OpenAI’s work in the field is causing unnecessary disruption and not being done with sufficient care. Once again, some mathematicians suggested that the latest release was unlikely to have been properly checked and could only create unnecessary work for experts.
