OpenAI says it cracked 90-year-old maths problem in 88 hours
Summary
OpenAI used thousands of AI bots working together to find a solution to a 90-year-old difficult math problem related to fluid movement in 88 hours. Their result is a major step but has not yet been officially confirmed by the math community.Key Facts
- OpenAI focused about 10,000 AI bots on the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem.
- This math problem deals with how fluids move, especially turbulence, and lacks a complete proof for 90 years.
- The AI bots communicated 3 million times and generated 130 billion lines of text and code during the work.
- The effort likely cost OpenAI around $10 million in computing resources.
- OpenAI solved two out of four required parts of the full proof for the Millennium Prize, which awards $1 million for solutions.
- The solution is not yet verified or accepted by the Clay Mathematics Institute, which manages the prize.
- Some mathematicians raised concerns about OpenAI’s timing and communication about the research process.
- OpenAI said the goal is to show progress in AI capabilities, not to claim the prize.
