ace‘Immature playground boasting’: Mathematicians uneasy at OpenAI’s latest scalp
It was a week that left mathematicians reeling. Hot on the heels of a flurry of cases of artificial intelligence furthering the field, OpenAI declared a major scalp: its latest AI model had cracked a Millennium Prize Problem, a puzzle with a $1m reward that had defied human brains for decades. The achievement bore little resemblance to how mathematical problems normally fall. A near-trillion dollar private company had unleashed 10,000 agents – AI systems that carry out tasks autonomously – on the problem. The bi…
OpenAI's latest model solved a $1m Millennium Prize Problem by deploying 10,000 autonomous agents at an estimated cost of $15m.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1060 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
