OpenAI unveils math, CS and physics results, but limits access

OpenAI announced breakthroughs in mathematics, computer science and physics, including a claimed proof of the Kakeya conjecture in all dimensions and a disproof of the exponential time hypothesis. The company is releasing materials through handpicked expert "shepherds," drawing criticism from researchers.

• Math result claims to resolve the Kakeya conjecture in all dimensions
• Physics result withheld; OpenAI will defer to external experts on release
• CS result claims to disprove the exponential time hypothesis
• Researchers criticize handpicked expert group as gatekeeping
