Lean proof checks cover about 300 of the 722 math manuscripts OpenAI's unreleased model produced

OpenAI published 722 math manuscripts across 372 result families, all produced by an internal model it has not released. About 300 come with Lean formalizations a machine can check, Crypto Briefing reported, so the rest wait on human reviewers whom one mathematicians' group is urging to stop working with OpenAI.

Terence Tao says automated proof checking is why the AI labs stopped consulting mathematicians

A proof checker confirmed the steps of OpenAI's Navier-Stokes result within days. The argument now running through mathematics is over who explains the 166 pages and who gets the credit for them.
