Results on questions first raised the 2010s, going by the earliest step each entry records.

31 AI-made results on questions first raised the 2010s, from 66 papers in the OpenAI math collection, each explained in plain English. 20 have a formal Lean proof listed; 11 are claimed in a paper and not yet machine-checked. They span 12 fields, led by algebraic and complex geometry (9), probability and statistical mechanics (4) and theoretical computer science (4). The oldest question here dates back to 2010: [Irrational cubic fourfolds with Hodge-theoretic and categorical K3 associations](https://closedform.nishachay.tech/e/openai-math-2026-054/).
