Main Page

OpenAI Aftermath is a guide to mathematical research published by OpenAI and to publicly available follow-up work by others: extensions, applications, formal verifications, corrections and critiques.

How entries are written

• Each result page summarizes the published claim and cites its public source: the paper, the repository commit or the preprint version.
• Follow-up work is listed with its relation to the original result (extension, use, verification, correction or critique), its public date and its public status.
• The publication of a paper, code or a formal proof is reported as such. It is not presented as independent verification.
