OpenAI released 722 mathematical manuscripts from an unreleased model more powerful than GPT-6 Astra, sparking debate with the math community.
OpenAI withdrew its Caltech math hackathon sponsorship after mathematicians published an open letter condemning AI-company-sponsored math events as destructive to the field.
An internal AI system and 10,000 agents cracked the Navier-Stokes problem in 88 hours — if it holds, it's only the second Millennium Prize ever solved.
Astra tops MazeBench 3D spatial reasoning with 14% and completes Valve Portal solo in 24 hours.
Claude produced the first complete computer-checked formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem in 11 days — 13 million lines of Lean, 30,300 theorems, no unproven assumptions.
On the new FrontierMath Erdős benchmark of 68 unsolved math problems, GPT-6 Astra was the only model to score above zero — solving 5 problems while GPT-5.6 Sol, Fable 5.1, and others all scored 0%.
