Mathematicians urge a boycott after OpenAI releases 722 manuscripts

OpenAI released 722 mathematical manuscripts covering 372 result families in a single day, and the response was a call to stop working with the company. The Association for Human Mathematics said the release looked less like a normal research process than a demonstration of power.

The fight is over what happens between an AI-generated result and accepted mathematical knowledge. OpenAI said an internal frontier model produced the work, including formalized proofs. Mathematicians questioned how the results were reviewed, credited, and published.
