AI Solves a Millennium Prize Problem With ~$20M of Compute in About a Week

A Reddit post reacts to a non-biological intelligence solving one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems using roughly $20M of compute in about a week. The author weighs two readings: the systems are already radically superintelligent and we haven't asked the right questions, or math is brute-forceable after all. Beyond the emotional framing, the underlying event is a landmark signal for AI capability and AGI timelines.
