Mathematicians call for boycott of OpenAI as AI-generated proofs flood the math world
Some researchers in the mathematics community are calling for a boycott of OpenAI, triggered by OpenAI releasing more than 700 AI-generated mathematical proof files at once. Fields Medal winner Terence Tao reposted the AHM statement on his blog, saying the move is not an academic display but a display of power, and arguing that once problems are solved at scale by AI, it cannot be reversed and will contaminate other research paths.

Author trains six models in two days with ML-intern for about $103 total
The author enabled ML-intern in HuggingChat, described requirements with prompts, and produced six models in two days and published them to the Hub, with total compute cost of about $103. Among them, a 9B prompt rewriter for Qwen-Image 2.1 was distilled into a 0.8B version that can run on CPU, with an output validity rate of 99.7% and token usage about one quarter that of the teacher model. The author published all seven prompts and suggested requiring baseline comparisons, smoke tests, and budget caps in prompts.
