OpenAI's math proofs, Lean 4's soundness, competing open letters - August 2, 2026
OpenAI says an internal model closed ten decade-old math problems and formalized the proofs in Lean 4, the same week a soundness bug let the Lean 4 kernel accept a proof that zero equals one. Plus water utility intrusions across seven states, over one hundred vulnerabilities at an I R S contractor, and Apple's record quarter.
