This is what it looks like when software engineering practices meet mathematics. "openai/math release 1.3.42: retracted papers 139 and 140, fixed a sign error in paper 47, restored previously retracted paper 85, refactored the arguments in paper 101".
I'm curious to know if the withdrawal was due to an actual mathematician looking at the papers and noticing the errors, or they ran a model on these to proofread, which would not be the first time, presumably, since they would have surely done that before publishing. Both options have interesting implications.
An actual mathematician found the errors based on my Twitter feed. Once the error is pointed out GPT Astra also confirms that it’s unfixable.
Link or it didn't happen
