- Andrew Curran argues OpenAI's written statement to the NYT about "significant progress" on a math problem signals a lab has almost certainly solved at least one Millennium Prize Problem, plus "other high-impact problems" rumored solved too.
- Rumor details: the N-S proof reportedly took 88 hours, with 240 hours elapsed since; Astra was world-best on an internal math benchmark three weeks ago.
- Mathematician Elliot Glazer opened a $25k even-odds wager, amending the victory condition: the challenger wins unless there's broad consensus within 3 months (by 9/15) that a lab solved a Millennium Prize Problem.
