OpenAI has formed an independent nine-member Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, announced via a post on Terence Tao's blog, meant to help review and communicate the company's mathematical results. The group's first task is reportedly helping coordinate release of numerous new results from an unreleased OpenAI model, but mathematicians who spoke to The Verge, including a group member, described the rollout as messy and confusing.

Oak Park High School students Aayush Bathija and Prince Rohatgi, working with UCLA postdoctoral researcher Daniel Soskin, published a 75-page arXiv paper resolving an open question about coefficient ratio bounds in Lorentzian polynomials, a theory associated with Fields Medalist June Huh. The work generalizes earlier results on quadratic polynomials to arbitrary degree, pinning down which coefficient ratios have universal upper bounds and what those optimal bounds are. The students used AI tools, including Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol, for exploration and drafting, while independently verifying every calculation and proof step.
