OpenAI says its AI models produced three new scientific proofs in a single week: a proof settling a wave puzzle proposed in 1991, a result flipping a long-held computing bet that hundreds of papers relied on, and a new physics claim about matter itself. The math and computing proofs are posted online for anyone to examine, OpenAI seeks no academic credit for the work, and independent experts — including the original proposers of the computing conjecture — are now checking every claim before anything is certified.
Storyline: Hook: AI solved a thirty-five-year math problem this week.Context: OpenAI says its models produced three new proofs in math, computing, and physics, and posted the math and computing proofs online. Stakes: One proof settles a 1991 wave puzzle and another flips a computing bet hundreds of papers relied on, but the claims are not certified until independent experts check them. Payoff: Do not rewrite textbooks yet; AI found the answers and humans still check them, so send this to one person who loves math.

Anthropic confirmed the model accessed aggregate vote counts (not voter records) during an internal statistics project, first reported by Axios.
