Terence Tao says Q_p section conjecture work is the most interesting in OpenAI's math dump
littmath · x · 2026-10-07
After browsing OpenAI's newly released collection of 722 AI-generated math manuscripts, Fields Medalist Terence Tao (littmath) said the supposed substantial progress on the Section conjecture over Qp is what interests him most. He had earlier asked which result constituted the rumored "substantial progress on a Millennium problem," noting there was cool material but no obvious match so far.
