OpenAI publishes First Proof math challenge submissions testing research-grade AI reasoning
OpenAI shared its AI model's proof attempts for the First Proof math challenge, testing research-grade reasoning on expert-level mathematical problems. The submissions test whether frontier models can generate valid mathematical proofs.
The challenge pushes beyond standard benchmarks into territory where AI must demonstrate rigorous logical reasoning, a capability that remains inconsistent even in the most advanced models.
