Artificial intelligence: OpenAI is said to have solved hundreds of mathematical problems

OpenAI's artificial intelligence (AI) has once again found solutions to some of the most difficult open mathematical problems, according to a media report.

According to the New York Times, OpenAI published 377 results for a wide range of mathematical questions - including algebra, number theory, theoretical computer science, mathematical logic and topology. These will include mathematical problems that have previously presented experts with insurmountable challenges.

Just a month ago, OpenAI announced that it had solved a mathematical “millennium problem”. This is said to be the so-called “Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem” – to put it simply, the mathematical prediction of wind and water movements. The solution to the problem was published in the in-house blog. To solve it, “an internal model that is significantly more powerful than GPT-6 Astra” was used.

In 2000, the Clay Foundation, which promotes mathematical research and education, named seven so-called "Millennium Problems" - they represent particularly difficult and previously unsolved mathematical problems. But there was also criticism of how OpenAI's solution to the "Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem" was achieved. New York University mathematician Tristan Buckmaster accused the AI ​​company of building the solution on its preliminary work with mathematician Levent Alpöge from Anthropic. Both were in the process of preparing their own solution for publication.
