OpenAI says it will not claim money if its finding is confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>According to the prize rules, a solution has to be published in a peer-reviewed journal and survive two years after gaining acceptance in the mathematical community before the institute will even convene a committee to consider the work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe process of evaluation is deliberately unhurried, and we shall ensure that it is absolutely rigorous,\u201d Professor Martin Bridson, President of the Clay Mathematics Institute, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT-style AI is revolutionizing the world of high-level math by quickly solving famous, long-unsolved problems that stumped experts for decades.<\/p>\n<p>But it has also sparked debate over whether machine-generated answers truly count as real human understanding.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Millions of dollars\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>In a blog post describing the breakthrough, OpenAI said it began training a new model in late August, more capable than anything it had released publicly.<\/p>\n<p>Days later, seeing online rumors that a competitor had solved Millennium problems, OpenAI turned the system loose on all six that remain open.<\/p>\n<p>Work on Navier-Stokes showed unexpected promise, and the company poured its computing power into it.<\/p>\n<p>By the final stage, OpenAI researcher Sebastien Bubeck said, 10,000 AI agents \u2014 programs that operate on their own \u2014 were working on the problem at once, passing messages back and forth.<\/p>\n<p>Chen said the computing costs ran \u201cemphatically in the millions of dollars,\u201d with Bubeck adding this was roughly 1,000 times what the company spent on earlier mathematical results.<\/p>\n<p>According to OpenAI\u2019s account, the agents reached a solution Saturday, about 88 hours after launching the project.<\/p>\n<p>The claim arrived hours after Tristan Buckmaster, a mathematician at New York University, and Levent Alpoge, who works at OpenAI competitor Anthropic, released their own AI-assisted work on three related equations.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement published alongside his papers, Buckmaster said OpenAI had taken up the problem only after word of his research spread, and pursued the same unusual approach he and Alpoge had spent months developing.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI\u2019s researchers denied having had any access to the rival team\u2019s work and said they proposed sharing credit before realizing that Buckmaster and Alpoge had fallen short of solving the problem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be clear, we did not use their prompts or proofs to prompt our models or direct our agents,\u201d Bubeck said.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a later post on X, OpenAI said \u201cwhile unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
