OpenAI just dropped 722 mathematics manuscripts on GitHub — all written by a frontier model it built but has not released.
The collection, openai/math, groups the 722 papers into 372 families across number theory, combinatorics, PDEs, topology and theoretical computer science. It came from evaluating the model on roughly 4,000 open problems, each using about three hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking compute.
Not all the work has been checked. The repo lists 162 papers with a main result formalized in Lean — a language that lets a computer verify a proof, about one in five. OpenAI notes some unformalized results could have issues, and nothing here is peer reviewed.
The twist: the model is still being trained. OpenAI says it is committed to releasing it eventually. Think of it as a graduate student uploading a draft thesis to arXiv — except you cannot meet them yet.

Two critical PHP remote code execution flaws — one found by GPT-5.6 Sol — were patched on October 21, 2026, and OpenAI published a disclosure framework alongside the fix. Fixed versions: PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35. Both allow unauthenticated remote code execution, and PHP's advisory says risk is highest for mod_php, where a demonstrated exploit triggers before any application code runs. The CVEs are distinct failure modes. CVE-2026-109618 (OOM corruption): out-of-memory handling can interrupt PHP while internal request data is only partially initialized, and request cleanup may then treat the invalid data as valid. CVE-2026-109619 (stale global state): request-owned internal state can survive after its backing memory is freed, and a later request served by the same worker may use that stale state. OpenAI states GPT-5.6 Sol identified the first flaw through its Patch the Planet initiative, and that Wiz independently discovered and reported both vulnerabilities. PHP's maintainers led the fixes and release, with Wiz, Cloudflare and OpenAI contributing research and coordination. Wiz's write-up adds that it used GPT-5.6 Sol and Gemini 4 Argon throughout, with Gemini 4 Argon contributing to finding the vulnerability and validating the patch. OpenAI describes the gap between discovery and public exploitation as a "Defender's Window," proposes a five-stage response framework, and committed $1 billion in subsidised Daybreak model access for organizations with limited security resources. Honest caveats: these are OpenAI's and Wiz's own characterizations, and OpenAI also notes the same capabilities help attackers build offensive tooling faster. PHP 8.1 and older no longer receive updates from the PHP project.
