Less than 24 hours after OpenAI posted over 700 preprints describing major math results by an internal AI model, the company has withdrawn three of the manuscripts for errors. On Oct. 6, Open…
So, the small correction rate might be due to the bottleneck at the verification stage, which OpenAI should have done in the first place, rather than throwing everything at mathematicians and expecting them to do the ungratifying work whilst they reap the fame.
700+ preprints is a lot and takes time to be ingested, especially when the text is generated. For example, Communication in Mathematics had less than a hundred submissions in 2025 and accepted a fourth of them.
