NYTIMES (Kenneth Chang) - The Mathematician Crushed Between OpenAI and Anthropic Over a Math Problem
Tristan Buckmaster was on the path toward an important proof when one of the A.I. giants used its staggering resources to get there first.

Bluebird Capital managing partner Anni Sen discusses OpenAI's claim that it cracked a 90-year-old math problem in 88 hours and the release of "GPT-6 Astra" on 'Making Money.' #openai #ai #artificialintelligence #technology #tech #math #mathematics #science #research #innovation #investment #investing #gpt6 #gpt6astra #future #agents #makingmoney #foxbusiness #fox #media #breakingnews #us #usa #new #news #breaking
OpenAI says it’s cracked one of math’s biggest unsolved problems: the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem. How did AI solve something that humans couldn’t solve for decades? Austin Westfall asks mathematician, author and Cornell professor Steven Strogatz about the discovery, and what AI’s rapidly evolving capabilities mean for the future of mathematics and research.
The decline in interest comes as school systems in many high-income countries struggle with plunging test scores.
Students around the globe earned among the lowest average scores ever in science, reading and mathematics on the Program for International Student Assessment.
Also, OpenAI says it solved one of math’s “Millennium Problems.” Here’s the latest at the end of Tuesday.
The company’s announcement is the most dramatic sign yet that artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the field of higher mathematics.
OpenAI announced today that it had solved the problem, one of seven “Millennium Problems” seen as among the most important in higher mathematics.
OpenAI says its AI has solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize problem, a potentially historic breakthrough shadowed by questions over unpublished research by outside mathematicians. Why it matters: The controversy strikes at a core trust question for AI-assisted science: whether researchers can safely use frontier labs' tools to work on unpublished discoveries. State of play: OpenAI said Tuesday an internal model "significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra" produced a proof that the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations can develop a singularity in finite time. - The company says the effort began Sept. 1, after OpenAI researchers heard rumors that two Millennium Prize problems had been solved and launched its new internal…
Jacob Tsimerman, a recent recipient of the Fields Medal, believes that higher mathematics can help curb the dangers of runaway artificial intelligence.
