OpenAI publishes 722 maths papers written by a model it has not released

OpenAI has published 722 maths manuscripts from an internal model it has not released. The papers fall into 372 families of results. The company announced the release on Tuesday and put them all in a public GitHub repository. It is the same model behind OpenAI’s Navier-Stokes proof last month. OpenAI gave it about 4,000 problems […]

EU-funded robot uses magnets to steer graphene implants into the brain

A European research group has built a robot that uses magnets to steer ultra-thin graphene electrodes into the brain. Barcelona’s INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, which leads the clinical work, announced the results on Wednesday, at the end of the EU-funded MINIGRAPH project. The project’s first target is Parkinson’s disease. Doctors already treat it with deep brain stimulation, […]
