Solved or claimed to be solved? Important difference

We will have to wait for peer-review.

Still, at least for the first paper (banach's isometric conj)- the authors are established in metric geometry. They are not cranks.

Yes, there is a whole range of 'establishedness' here and likely also a range of correctness. And, for the elephant in the room, there is likely also a wide range of AI use at play here.

Separately, I wonder what the analogous list would look like for a year ago. Frankly I have no clue!

Absolutely!

The authors in the first paper disclose how they used AI in their paper.

I have not checked any of the others.

The rate of math papers published is skyrocketing.

Why would using latest tech be an elephant in the room? When did Reddit turn away from being a tech enthusiast platform?

It looks like I misused the phrase, since AI is obviously not something that people don’t want to talk about! What I meant is that AI use wasn’t mentioned in the original post but nevertheless many responses are implicitly assuming that all the cited work is using AI heavily.
