OpenFrontiers: A Collection of Open Research Problems and a Benchmark for Scientific Rediscovery

arXiv:2610.37739v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown increasing promise in research-level problem solving, yet a comprehensive collection of such problems is still missing, and evaluating them on research-level problems remains challenging. We introduce OpenFrontiers, a cross-disciplinary resource that combines a structured corpus of open research problems with a retrospective benchmark of recently resolved problems in mathematics. The corpus records problem statements, context, progress, and other information for 12,151 problems. The benchmark contains 200 problems, 110 resolved in 2026 and 90 still open, each with a Lean~4 statement checked by automated probes and two independent reviews; a subset HQ-50 further filters based on quality score, etc.
