OpenAI says its AI solved three major open problems, Nobel laureate now verifying proofs
The Decoder · rss · 2026-10-27
OpenAI claims its internal AI models have cracked three major open questions across math, computer science, and physics — one tied to a famous Millennium Prize Problem, each carrying a $1 million prize. Outside experts, including a Nobel laureate, are now checking whether the proofs hold up. If the computer science proof stands on its own, hundreds of existing research papers would lose their foundation.
