This sounds like something you outright made up.

Classical unsolved math problems have rewards.
Mathematics absolutely have peer review:

PubMedOn the Nature and Role of Peer Review in Mathematics - PubMedFor the past three decades, peer review practices have received much attention in the literature. But although this literature covers many research fields, only one previous systematic study has been devoted to the practice of peer review in mathematics, namely a study by Geist, Löwe, and Van Kerkho …

Neither paper has been peer-reviewed

But that’s not really the point, the point is that yes maybe AI can solve long standing mathematical problems, but they need to be confirmed by REAL mathematicians.
Because AI has been shown to hallucinate and lie when presented with problems they can’t solve.

There are many claims about AI solving hard mathematical problems, but very few that are confirmed. These stories seem to at least to some degree to act as advertising for AI services.

Yes, scientific articles are expensive.

Doesn’t have to be scientific articles, it can easily be a normal article that state that scientists have confirmed the findings independently.
This is a very common thing for normal media to describe. The second article you linked would most probably have included that if such confirmation existed.

I linked to evidence that mathematicians are using LLMs to find proofs

No you didn’t, the article described a researcher testing the capabilities of AI, nothing in the article was really about math, it was all about the AI, and the whole story reeks of sensationalism.

You don’t really need sources, we all know AI tends to hallucinate when presented with a problem they can’t solve.
So far I’ve only read about 1 example of a problem that an AI may have solved. All the rest are without details and are not confirmed in any way.

Remember AI companies are huge on propaganda for their technology, but not so big on admitting the shortcomings.

Edit:
Changed the use of the word evidence to sources, because apparently people misunderstood it.

Due to Western export restrictions, ASML is only allowed to export some of these machines to China; the most modern equipment is subject to a complete blockade.

In the past quarter, 14 percent of the machines that ASML sold went to China.

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

Preventing one of your biggest customers (China) from getting the equipment they need forces them to make it themselves.
Now China can make their own DUV lithography machines of similar quality to the ones they can get from ASML.
And obviously it won’t stop there, China will continue to improve, and probably in a few years compete with ASML on the high end EUV equipment too.
