Physicist @hsu_steve says AI may become superhuman at math long before that translates into cures, better aircraft, or explosive economic growth: "90% of mathematicians, especially the younger ones, realize these models are extremely powerful. Just as they became superhuman in coding, they're becoming superhuman in math." "The Fields Medal work in the last 20 years has had very little impact on physics. Pure math might be decoupled from physics, and theoretical physics might be decoupled from…

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
