OpenAI published 722 mathematical papers produced by an unreleased AI model earlier this week, covering 372 open mathematical problems.[^1]

OpenAI has not named the model used for this batch of work.

In September 2025, OpenAI stated that an unreleased model produced a proposed Navier-Stokes problem solution in 88 hours.[^2]

No public confirmation exists that the same unreleased model was used for both outputs.
