8+ hour, 21+ min ago   (771+ words) You don’t need to know any math to understand why the Millennium Prize breakthrough matters. It’s proof of AI’s accelerating and terrifying progress. Why should we care that AI is suddenly insanely good at math? It’s a question that I’ve…...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago   (530+ words) The debate over agentic mathematics has reached beyond mathematical proofs. A group of the world’s most decorated mathematicians is warning that the race to make AI solve difficult mathematics could damage the field it aims to advance. Twenty-five Fields Medalists…...

2+ day, 10+ hour ago   (447+ words) OpenAI has published what it says is an AI-generated solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of mathematics' seven Millennium Prize Problems. This problem concerns equations that describe fluid motion and has resisted resolution for roughly 90 years. OpenAI's…...

4+ week, 2+ day ago   (406+ words) Junior Fellow Elise LePage of the Simons Society of Fellows turns intuition from theoretical physics into new mathematics. String theory provides an avenue for uniting quantum physics and gravity, but it remains highly speculative. The theory predicts that the universe…...

3+ day, 7+ hour ago   (1427+ words) Yesterday, OpenAI announced that an internal model had successfully created a proof that showed Navier-Stokes equations could, under certain conditions, “blow up” and produce results that were not physically possible. This problem has vexed mathematicians for over 90 years. It was,…...
