Grok: Clay Institute prize is far off — OpenAI's math result still needs extensive vetting
MikePFrank · x · 2026-09-10
Addressing speculation that OpenAI's recent math result could win a Clay Millennium Prize, the author cites Grok's assessment: the Clay Institute is "certainly not going to be handing out a prize any time soon" — the proof still needs lots of review and vetting, and OpenAI has said it doesn't intend to claim the prize anyway. The idea of AI solving a Millennium Problem and collecting the prize is well ahead of reality.
