OpenAI Releases 722 Manuscripts with Hundreds of Math Results
OpenAI has released a new batch of mathematical research generated by an unreleased frontier model, covering 722 mathematical manuscripts across 372 families of related results.
Details:
The company estimates the average result required the equivalent of about three hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking.
Many of the proofs were checked with Lean, a formal verification system that confirms whether the underlying logic is valid. Others remain unverified.
A couple of weeks ago, OpenAI said it is working with an advisory board of mathematicians that would advise AI companies on how to communicate AI-produced results to mathematicians.
The board has called for AI labs to publish the prompts and model reasoning behind their discoveries, stressing that public releases should be the start of human understanding rather than the end of the process.
It also warned AI companies against presenting discoveries as marketing material for their models, arguing this can harm the mathematical community.
The significance of the results will take time to establish as mathematicians review the manuscripts. But they are likely to add to a growing tension between AI labs and mathematicians, some of whom worry that AI systems may be completing proofs using ideas originally developed by human researchers, raising questions about how much of the apparent discovery belongs to the models.

ANTHROPIC
You Can Now Open Claude Directly in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides
Anthropic has expanded Claude into Google Workspace, allowing paid users to work with Docs, Sheets, and Slides directly through a new sidebar without switching between apps.
Details:
The Claude for Google Workspace add-on is now in public beta, adding a sidebar inside Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides for users who want to work with Claude while staying inside Google's productivity apps.
In Google Docs, Claude can correct spelling, rewrite sections, and change formatting or style while preserving the document's existing layout.
In Google Sheets, Claude can create formulas and tables using the context of a spreadsheet, while also using uploaded documents or spreadsheets to help build new content.
In Google Slides, Claude can create new slides using existing themes and layouts, as well as identify elements that may need updating.
An "ask before edits" option lets users review proposed changes before Claude applies them, giving them more control over edits made to their files.
The integration is available in beta to paid Claude users through the Google Workspace Marketplace, while new connectors also let users edit Docs, Sheets, and Slides directly from Claude by sharing a file link in a conversation.
AI Tutorial
Automate Your Admin Work in Slack and Google Workspace with UFO
Go to ufo.ai, select Get started, and sign in with your work email or Continue with Google. UFO doesn't bill by seat, so you can add your whole team.
Connect the tools you need. Open Connections in the sidebar and link Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive or Google Sheets. You only need the ones your first task uses.
Give UFO a task in Slack. Invite UFO to a channel, then mention @ufo and tell it what you want it to do. It replies in a thread, so everyone in the channel can see the result.
Prompt:
@ufo Check the Sales Tracker sheet in Google Sheets and list every invoice more than 14 days overdue in one list, sorted by days overdue, with client, amount and due date. Do not email anyone.
Put the result where you work. Ask UFO to save it to your sheet, check the numbers, then ask for any changes in the same conversation.
Prompt:
Add a new tab called Overdue to the Sales Tracker sheet. List every invoice more than 14 days overdue with client, amount, due date and days overdue, sorted by days overdue, and put the total at the bottom.
Schedule the task to run automatically. Tell UFO what to do, when, and where to post. You can pause or change it later from Automations.
Prompt:
Every Friday at 9:00 AM Eastern time, check the Sales Tracker sheet in Google Sheets, list every invoice more than 14 days overdue sorted by days overdue, and post the list in #finance on Slack. Do not email anyone.
More workflows to try. Create a daily meeting brief from your calendar and inbox, make a weekly progress report from Slack updates, or review customer feedback every week.
If admin work is taking up too much of your week, start with one repetitive task and let UFO handle it. Try UFO.
