OpenAI Is Pissing Off a Bunch of Mathematicians—Again

OpenAI gathered mathematicians in August to discuss the implications of AI surpassing human mathematical abilities. The company indicated its models had solved hundreds of long-standing math problems, including the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem, but assured attendees it would not release solutions all at once. OpenAI spokesperson Lindsay McCallum stated they are working to responsibly release these results, drawing on advice from the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, without a set release time.

This report uniquely details OpenAI's claim of solving over 100 long-standing math problems, including the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem, unlike previous AI math claims.
