Altman says OpenAI will keep releasing AI math results
Original title: Sam Altman sympathizes with mathematicians, but says OpenAI’s math onslaught won’t stop
He says OpenAI holds more proofs than the hundreds already released and spent on the order of hundreds of millions of dollars.
On the Cheeky Pint podcast, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said he sympathizes with mathematicians overwhelmed by AI-generated results but will not stop releasing them. He argued the public’s right to scientific knowledge outweighs the disruption, while admitting communication needs to improve. Researchers told The Verge that brief writeups lack attribution and verification, and that details of a claimed Yang-Mills result remain unpublished on expert advice.
Unconfirmed: Spending figures, the size of the unpublished stockpile, and the significance of the breakthroughs are Altman’s or OpenAI’s claims.
- This month OpenAI released hundreds of mathematical results, often with brief writeups.
- Yang-Mills theory details have not been released publicly.
- Altman estimated about $10 million, maybe a little more, for a Navier-Stokes solution.
- He said an internal Slack channel pushed models at the hardest problems.

After months of bombarding mathematicians with a relentless stream of AI-generated results, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he sympathizes with researchers struggling to make sense of it all. But he has no intention of stopping - and hints there could be much more to come from the company's stockpile of discoveries.
