Specialists broadly consider correct OpenAI's AI proof of a weaker version of the Riemann hypothesis
According to Quanta, the specialists who reviewed a mathematical proof produced by an OpenAI AI generally agree that the result is correct. The proof, published on October 6 in a batch of 722 papers, does not solve the Riemann hypothesis, open for more than 160 years, but proves a weaker version, the quasi-Riemann hypothesis. The main result of the 199-page version passed the Lean verifier; the 49-page version, which mathematicians are studying, has not yet.

- OpenAI published on October 6 a batch of 722 mathematics papers attributed to an internal AI not yet available in ChatGPT.
- One of those papers proves the quasi-Riemann hypothesis, a weaker version of the Riemann hypothesis, open for more than 160 years.
- The main result of the 199-page version passed through Lean; the 49-page version, reviewed by people, has not yet gone through the verifier.
