Rumors: OpenAI Near Verifying Hodge Conjecture, Another Millennium Problem Progressing

kimmonismus · x · 2026-09-10

Rumors circulating claim OpenAI is close to verifying a proof of the Hodge conjecture, and that OpenAI or Anthropic may be nearing a solution to the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture—both Millennium Prize Problems that have resisted decades of mathematical research.

The poster considers them essentially confirmed, citing a New York Times passage: "In addition, since the completion of Navier-Stokes, we have made substantial progress on another Millennium Prize problem. We are working through how to share these results thoughtfully." Verified AI-generated proofs of both would be a historic achievement for mathematics. These remain unverified rumors.
