Citing the New York Times, OpenAI confirmed it has made substantial progress on a second Millennium Prize Problem after the Navier-Stokes milestone, with results forthcoming.
Andy Masley uses this to explore recursive self-improvement: if AI keeps cracking such problems, it could accelerate AI research itself, potentially delivering 2050-grade models within years—though he admits predicting acceleration vs. drop-off remains deeply uncertain.
