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.
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.
Scientists don’t often publish when they confirm an article is correct. Knowing a few mathematicians, probably they see no need to do that. They checked the proof, it was ok and that’s it.
Either way, many of those proofs come with a computer program which checks and confirms the proof is correct.
I trust that an expert mathematician talking about such things has reviewed a few of those articles and has checked the proof.
You may not do that; check the proof yourself or pay a mathematician to do it for you.

If you wish, this was indipendently confirmed: the same proof was published by two authors at the same time.

Two researchers came to the same solution to a problem. In my books that’s better than peer review.

This sounds like something you outright made up.
Classical unsolved math problems have rewards.
Mathematics absolutely have peer review:

Indeed peer reviewed exists in mathematics. Now, whether it is common practice to publish stuff on arxiv and leave it there is another thing.
I don’t know about mathematics, but I know plenty other Fields where it is common practice to just publish on arxiv.
