An NYU math professor claims the AI behemoth rushed to solve the problem after discovering his progress.

The company’s announcement is the most dramatic sign yet that artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the field of higher mathematics.

OpenAI said today that it has found an AI-generated solution to one of the biggest problems in mathematics —a 200-year-old equation that describes the natural behavior of fluids like water and air.

A mathematician compared the feat to the history-making chess competition in which IBM’s Deep Blue computer beat Garry Kasparov in 1997

As companies entrust AI systems with increasingly valuable intellectual property, the policies governing model training, retention and access become part of the technical architecture, not simply language in a privacy statement.

Anthropic says AI model Claude spent 11 days turning Fermat's Last Theorem into 13 million lines of code a computer can check itself.
