What would take generations of mathematicians may have taken artificial intelligence just 88 hours. OpenAI says it deployed around 10,000 AI agents to tackle a 90-year-old problem involving the Navier-Stokes equations. The system produced a solution after exchanging almost 3 million messages and generating about 130 billion output tokens.
The claim could mark a major moment for AI and mathematics. But there is a crucial caveat. The proposed solution has not yet been independently verified or accepted by the Clay Mathematics Institute, which oversees the Millennium Prize Problems.
