OpenAI posts math and computing claims; physics proof held back

OpenAI released math and computer-science claims for public review while a physics group withholds its AI artifacts.

OpenAI said internal models produced a claimed proof of Sogge’s local smoothing conjecture in every dimension, which would also resolve the Kakeya and Stein restriction conjectures, plus a claim that the Exponential Time Hypothesis is false and a four-dimensional quantum-field-theory existence result covering QCD. Math and computer-science write-ups and Lean formalizations are public on GitHub; the physics group is withholding the AI outputs while writing its own account. External experts are shepherding release without nondisclosure agreements or pay. OpenAI News says shepherds set three release paths; The Verge says outside shepherds cover the computing and physics claims, with the math materials posted unverified. Named reviewers include Russell Impagliazzo, Ramamohan Paturi, and Ryan Williams on computing, and David Gross on physics. OpenAI says it will not seek academic credit; AGMAI advisers recommended against early selective access.
