OpenAI says its latest AI system solved a 90-year-old math problem in 88 hours, reigniting fears over runaway intelligence.
Key facts
- The agents exchanged 2.7 million messages and generated about 130 billion output tokens before Astra spent another 17 hours formalizing and verifying the result in Lean
- OpenAI says its latest AI system solved a 90-year-old math problem in 88 hours, reigniting fears over runaway intelligence
- The problem carries a $1 million prize from the Clay Mathematics Institute
- Allen, a professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, argued that OpenAI’s experiment offers a potential preview of a broader economic problem
Summary
01 OpenAI says an internal model coordinated 10,000 agents and solved the Navier-Stokes problem in 88 hours, pending broader scrutiny. 02 The experiment notes a widening gap between private frontier systems and public tools, raising concerns about competition and economic concentration. 03 Researchers warn future recursive self-improvement could threaten humanity, while lawmakers and labs debate safeguards before capabilities outpace control. On Sept. 8, the company said that an internal model significantly more capable than its recently released GPT-6 Astra coordinated roughly 10,000 AI agents to solve the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem.
