scaling01 · x · 2026-09-16
OpenAI President Greg Brockman announced that the company has made significant progress on 'another one of these Millennium Problems' — the seven million-dollar math challenges posed by the Clay Mathematics Institute. No details were given on which problem, the nature of the progress, or peer-review status, but the statement from a core OpenAI executive signals another leap in frontier-model mathematical research capability, following earlier claims of IMO gold-medal-level performance by AI systems.
