OpenAI Says Its AI Solved a Millennium Prize Problem

OpenAI said the internal model used 10,000 agents and millions of dollars in compute, while rival mathematicians dispute the credit.

  • OpenAI announced that its AI model solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem within 88 hours, surprising the mathematics community.
  • Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accused OpenAI of using unpublished work developed by him and Anthropic researcher Levent Alpoge, raising concerns about data misuse.
  • Buckmaster alleged that OpenAI pressured him to collaborate and proposed publishing arrangements that excluded Alpoge, claims which OpenAI has denied.
  • The proof of the Navier-Stokes problem has not been released, and mathematicians have expressed skepticism about its readability and validity, with formal verification expected to take years.
