Scott Aaronson wrote on 8 October in a [Shtetl-Optimized blog post](https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=10169) that OpenAI's release of 372 math results includes a Lean-verified proof of the Unique Games Conjecture.

Aaronson said the proof is part of the release. He titled the post "The Mathocalypse".

He said his wife, complexity theorist Dana Moshkovitz, worked toward that result for her career.

OpenAI said most of the 372 results came from a single prompt, according to a report by [AI Weekly](https://aiweekly.co/alerts/openai-says-372-math-results-came-mostly-from-one-prompt) published on 7 October.

Four experts tracked by this publication shared Aaronson's post within hours of its appearance.

The claim has not been independently verified. No outside expert has confirmed the proof or its Lean formalisation.

Outside mathematicians are expected to check the proof and the formalisation next.

## Key takeaways

- Aaronson says the 372 results include a Lean-verified Unique Games Conjecture proof.
- OpenAI says most of the results came from one prompt.
- Outside mathematicians are expected to check the proof and its Lean formalisation.
