OpenAI says its AI models made discoveries in mathematics, computer science and physics

According to OpenAI, its models proved the local smoothing conjecture, a central idea in harmonic analysis, in every spatial dimension for the first time.

“I am filled with joy and optimism, because the scientific enterprise as a whole is going to make giant leaps as a result of the AI revolution.”

— Alex Iosevich, University of Rochester mathematician

What we know

  • OpenAI announced three discoveries
