A beginning for mathematics
The gist
OpenAI said its 10,000 agents solved a Millennium Prize Navier-Stokes problem in 88 hours.
Two mathematicians say the work may be theirs, so the claim is disputed.
How it unfolded
- recentlyOpenAI said it had solved a legendary mathematics problem involving the Navier-Stokes equations, one of the Millennium Prize Problems.
- recentlyOpenAI said the task involved on the order of 10,000 concurrent agents with tools including a cached version of the internet and the ability to run code, and that they found the solution within 88 hours.
- recentlyAlmost immediately after the announcement, two other mathematicians, one of whom works at Anthropic, announced the results might have been taken from their own work.
