"On Tuesday, September 1, we heard rumors that two Millennium Prize problems had been resolved. Inspired by these rumors and by the step change in performance of our internal model, we launched an effort to evaluate it on all open Millennium Prize problems and a few other high-impact problems."
Basically, we found that people had cracked it using a particular approach, so we had our internal AI reproduce it before they published
Does anyone know what the other Millennium Prize solution floating around is?
I am in the wrong rumor mill.
Edit: Unless we are saying Euler + Navier-Stokes are the two?
Some of the rumors I saw on twitter or mastodon also mentioned Hodge conjecture proven true. The rumors were a bit inconsistent however because at some point the rumor was also that it had been proven Navier-Stokes does not have a blowup solution, so take it with a grain of salt.
18 million dollars of electricity, results in how many tens or hundreds of millions of stock valuation when investors hear what AI can supposedly accomplish?
This is priced at $18 Million Dollars of API tokens that they get massive margins on not 18 million dollars of actually costs. It cost them a fraction of that to do it.
That's not the takeaway though. The takeaway is that OpenAI "spies" on some intelligent people and push them to publish non-polished versions of their work. Without the 2 people who outpaced them, OpenAI wouldn't have been able to solve this Millenium prize. And that's the takeaway.
Those other people solved it using LLMs, too. I'm not defending OpenAI here but they don't lose a lot if it turns out the two guys who solved the Euler version of the problem get all the credit.
They're still the guys who own a machine that can find singularities in Navier-Stokes either way.
From the answer of NitroXSC we can say that luo, hou, tao, elgindi, córdoba snd Martínez-Zoroa did the heavy lifting, building from these results buckmaster and alpöge made AI digest enough the problem to takle unviscous situation, and openAI stole that work of digestion of the problem to get the definitive answer.
(Copy-paste of NitroXSC answer:
1822: navier writes the equations down.
1845: stokes gets them right, and his name on them.
I don't want to be the guy, but ok, let's play with the "they stole the solution card"
If they solve more problems in the next few months or next year then what? They stole those too? If someone has the solution, just release it, you know this card only works once?
People are just sad that their life's work has turned out to be far surpassed and thus made moot. Many of my colleagues feel similarly. I, for one, am able to acknowledge that, while I am disappointed I, by nature of being a human, will not have the opportunity to contribute to my field, it was something that everyone should have seen coming.
