OpenAI claims to solve 90-year-old maths problem in 88 hours
OpenAI reports cracking the Navier-Stokes equations using 10,000 AI agents within 88 hours, though independent verification remains pending.
OpenAI stated it solved a long-standing mathematical challenge involving fluid dynamics in just 88 hours. The group utilized roughly 10,000 autonomous AI agents to tackle the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids move. For ninety years, specific aspects of these problems lacked formal proof. The organization described this achievement as evidence that artificial intelligence tools are advancing rapidly. Researchers employed a new model specifically trained to recognize patterns in mathematical information starting in late August. OpenAI noted that this internal tool currently surpasses the capabilities of its publicly released models. At the end of September, the company addressed rumors regarding the process. The solution has not yet been independently verified or officially accepted by The Clay Mathematics Institute, the organization administering the Millennium Prize for unsolved mathematical problems.
