But despite its apparent course correction, researchers who spoke to The Verge are growing increasingly tired of the company’s antics.

It has been a turbulent few months between OpenAI and mathematicians, who are still grappling with the hundreds of preprints unceremoniously dumped on them at the start of October. This time, OpenAI says it is working with expert “shepherds” to decide how best to share its latest breakthroughs.

All three results concern some of the most consequential unsolved problems in mathematics, computer science, and physics. Some extend OpenAI’s previous work and others break new ground. Following advice from OpenAI’s “shepherds,” each has a different release strategy.…
