Drama swirls around OpenAI’s legendary mathematical milestone

OpenAI has spent the last few years planting flags across the increasingly difficult terrain in mathematics. This week, it claimed one of its biggest prizes yet: a solution to a

There is a $1 million bounty for the first person providing a solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem.

This week, OpenAI claimed to have solved a legendary Millennium Prize mathematics problem. In normal circumstances, this would have been celebrated as a historic achievement.

OpenAI’s latest mathematical milestone has quickly become mired in controversy.

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.
