OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman claims the company has made "significant progress" on a second Millennium Problem, following earlier reports of progress on one of the famous Clay Mathematics Institute challenges. If confirmed, this would be a major signal of frontier models' mathematical reasoning capabilities. No paper or full details have been released yet, and the rigor of the claimed progress remains unverified.
