Hesamation: 50,000 OpenAI agents may be burning millions overnight on P vs NP and Riemann hypothesis
Hesamation · x · 2026-09-11
Hesamation posted that in 2026, while you sleep, potentially 50,000 OpenAI agents are attempting to solve critical scientific problems — including P vs. NP and the Riemann hypothesis — burning millions of dollars of compute.
He argues a new discovery could arrive any day. The figure is his observation rather than an OpenAI confirmation, but it reflects the industry trend of labs deploying massive autonomous research agents.
