   OpenAI posts 722 AI-generated math manuscripts, drawing Fields medalist backlash

   OpenAI published 722 AI-generated math manuscripts to GitHub on Oct. 6 — organized into 372 results spanning 17 areas including number theory, algebraic geometry and theoretical computer science, with 10 model reasoning summaries and partial Lean formalizations — according to TMTPost. OpenAI said the model had attempted roughly 4,000 research problems at a cost of about three hours of ChatGPT Pro "thinking" per result, and the next day it withdrew three preprints and revised 14 others, cutting the total to 719. Cambridge Fields medalist James Maynard described a "tsunami" heading for mathematics, while Terence Tao and 24 other Fields medalists issued a statement criticizing the mass release for bypassing peer review; Imperial College's Kevin Buzzard said only 1 of 30 papers in his number-theory area passed Lean verification in his sample.

   Yau leads math-and-AI lab alliance at Tsinghua with 1,000 researchers

   On October 11 the Yau Mathematical Sciences and AI Laboratory Alliance was launched at Tsinghua University, led by Fields Medalist Shing-Tung Yau and formed by eight institutions including Tsinghua's Qiuzhen College, the Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, the Beijing Yanqi Lake Institute of Applied Mathematics, the Morningside Center of Mathematics and the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Zhen-Cross Mathematical Sciences Academy, aiming to bring together roughly 1,000 mathematicians and researchers. The alliance will work on math-specific large models, AI-assisted formal proofs and conjecture discovery, and interpretable AI, with labs planned in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenzhen and Hong Kong that share model-training resources, formal math libraries and compute platforms, plus a planned AI-assisted mathematics journal. Yau described AI's impact as a 'tsunami' that researchers should ride rather than avoid, and said China's own large models are still not world-leading in frontier mathematics and basic science.
