OpenAI's Astra model solves 10 math problems with verifiable proofs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

An unreleased OpenAI model named Astra has reportedly solved ten long-standing mathematical problems, some of which had remained open for decades. Unlike previous claims, this instance is backed by mathematically verifiable and machine-checkable proofs, lending significant credibility to the findings. The compute cost for these solutions was approximately $2,000, and the mathematician Thomas Bloom, who previously debunked an earlier inflated claim by OpenAI, has confirmed these new results as substantial.
