A OpenAI pode estar fazendo história na matemática

A OpenAI acaba de anunciar que uma inteligência artificial pode ter resolvido um dos sete Problemas do Milênio – alguns dos problemas matemáticos mais difíceis ainda em aberto. Se a demonstração resistir ao escrutínio da comunidade matemática, este será apenas o segundo problema resolvido desde que a lista foi criada em 2000 – e o […] The post A OpenAI pode estar fazendo história na matemática…

OpenAI has claimed a potential breakthrough in mathematics by announcing that an artificial intelligence may have solved one of the seven Millennium Problems, considered some of the most challenging unsolved mathematical puzzles since their list was created in 2000. The problem in question, known as the Navier-Stokes Equations, describes the movement of fluids and has remained a mystery since the 19th century.

The AI system found a configuration where a fluid initially regular develops a progressively finer and faster vortex, eventually leading to a divergence in velocity, essentially proving that Navier-Stokes can explode under certain conditions. While formal verification is still needed, the AI's method of solving the problem through decentralized parallel exploration of different approaches, consolidation of results, and redistribution of information may signal a new era of knowledge production.

The cost of the computing power involved is not disclosed, but comparing it to the price of the new GPT-6 Astra model, it would amount to approximately $6.5 million.
