Key points

  • NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster says OpenAI's Tuesday drop of 722 AI-generated math papers destroyed the careers of early career mathematicians.
  • @deredleritt3r says OpenAI released only around ~400 math results, with all non-Millennium-Prize solutions reached in a single-agent setting after 3 hours of thinking.
  • @AndrewCurran_ says OpenAI's unnamed internal model reached most of the recent math results in one shot, from a single prompt, with no interruptions, and did not exist before the end of August.

    Andrew Curran says OpenAI's unreleased internal model Aeon solved most recent math results in one prompt, a model that didn't exist before late August and is still training.

    An analysis says OpenAI released only ~400 math results to stress-test its internal model on hard problems, not to disrupt math research.

Reaction on X: Most replies are dismissive of the professors' complaints, arguing that AI solving hard math is progress and that academia is motivated by grants; one reply likens it to lamenting lost cancer research jobs. The original poster responded only by sharing a full CNBC video link.
