OpenAI announces three big science discoveries and a new way to work with academics

Summary

OpenAI has announced three new scientific results in mathematics, computer science and physics, less than a month after releasing hundreds of manuscripts it said contained solutions to long-standing math questions. For the computer science and physics results, external experts it calls "shepherds" guided the work, while for the math problem they advised OpenAI to release the AI output so researchers could work through their own explanations.
