OpenAI says it has achieved substantial progress toward solving a second Millennium Prize mathematics problem, according to Decrypt. The company has not identified which of the remaining problems its work concerns. The announcement follows OpenAI’s recent claim involving the Navier-Stokes problem, which has faced dispute. Each Millennium Prize problem carries a $1 million award for a correct solution, although the latest statement does not indicate that a problem has been solved or that any prize has been awarded. OpenAI also provided no further details about its methods or findings in the information reported by Decrypt. The update adds to attention around the company’s efforts to apply artificial intelligence to advanced mathematical research, while leaving the specific problem and the significance of the reported progress undisclosed.
