Oct 8, 2026, 2:27 PM@robinhouston Wait, didn't they sent out 700+ papers. Why are you talking about 369 that weren't retracted?
(There is a good chance I just missed or misinterpreted something.)

robinhoustonrobinhouston@mathstodon.xyzOct 8, 2026, 2:31 PM@j_bertolotti Oh, maybe I'm missing something? I think there are 372 listed in https://github.com/openai/math/blob/main/overview.pdf, which includes the three that were retracted.
(The largest number is 377, confusingly: there are a few gaps in the numbering.)

@robinhouston I admit I only read the headlines, plus the comments of a few smart people. Reading again it says 722 paper divided in 372 groups (whatever that means).

@j_bertolotti Thanks! You are correct. There do seem to be 749 preprints in https://github.com/openai/math/tree/main/preprints

So it depends on which one you're counting.
