Reasoning and sources

Autonomy

By the authors' account, two mathematicians pushed the Córdoba–Martínez-Zoroa programme to smooth forcing with a great deal of help from language models; the programme was neither started nor proposed by a model, and GPT-6 Astra was used only for write-ups and auditing.

Details

found: 15 August 2026, by the authors' account

lean: Verified in Lean on 22 August 2026, by the authors' account; no public repository is cited

write-up: Buckmaster says the Euler write-up is much closer to what models produce under human direction than to a paper written by a person

F0 no formal statement. Absent. No formal statement is attached to the result.

Provenance

Built on

  • Diego Córdoba and Luis Martínez-Zoroa 2023

    The programme of forced blowup constructions, with rough forcing, that this work pushes to smooth forcing. Source

In dispute

  • Priority

    Announced about twelve hours before OpenAI's Navier–Stokes claim; Buckmaster's statement sets out his contacts with OpenAI in the days before it. Source
