Briefings
In October 2025, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI labs announced breakthroughs in long-standing mathematical problems, including resolving a Millennium Prize problem. Despite claims of learning from earlier mistakes, the results sparked significant backlash and criticism from mathematicians who demanded proof rather than just results. OpenAI did not cite its own work in the resolution, leading to accusations of slyness and a chill in academic confidence. The article notes that while AI labs are moving fast, the future impact remains uncertain.
