OpenAI agents tackle Millennium Prize problems, focusing on Navier-Stokes equations

OpenAI initiated research into the Millennium Prize problems on September 1st, employing a swarm of approximately 10,000 AI agents. These agents, orchestrated using the OpenAI Codex tool, initially assessed all six open problems before concentrating on the Navier-Stokes equations due to promising early results. The swarm generated around 4.9 million messages and 300 billion output tokens, with a significant portion dedicated to the Navier-Stokes problem, concluding after 88 hours of computation. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates the potential of large-scale AI agent swarms for tackling complex scientific and mathematical challenges.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes research using AI agents on complex mathematical problems, fitting the research bucket.
