AI claims progress on 90 of the 500 most important open math problems, Riemann only partial

A widely shared roundup claims AI has produced answers or partial progress on 90 of the 500 most important open problems in mathematics.
- Full claims: Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the Rationals, the Unique Games Conjecture, and Extended Anderson Model states in dimension ≥3
- Partial progress: the Riemann Hypothesis, Hodge Conjecture, Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, Tate Conjecture, Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, and Matrix-Multiplication Exponent = 2, among others
The post also mocks the media contrast: a top mathematician called it "the biggest day in the history of mathematics," while the NYT front page ran "Good Wine Under $30." Most results are marked PARTIAL and await verification by mathematicians.
