The International Math Olympiad (IMO) 2026, the hardest math contest for high schoolers, just ended.I ran Fable (high), Sol (xhigh), K3 (max) and Axiom against it and all got a perfect score of 42/42 (repo below if you want to check their solutions):— Claude Fable 5 was the… pic.twitter.com/6oH7FiAjEP— Deedy (@deedydas) July 21, 2026
AI's solution to 87-year-old riddle takes mathematicians by surprise | New Scientist
Mathematicians have been trying to prove the Jacobian conjecture for nearly a century, but now the Claude Fable 5 AI has apparently found a counterexample that disproves it

And yes we did try other major problems without success. Sadly no Millennium Prize problems (yet).But also, we didn’t spend a lot on each problem. It’s possible to push test-time compute much further.— Noam Brown (@polynoamial) August 1, 2026

We believe Cursor discovered a novel solution to Problem Six of the First Proof challenge, a set of math research problems that approximate the work of Stanford, MIT, Berkeley academics. Cursor's solution yields stronger results than the official, human-written solution.…— Michael Truell (@mntruell) March 3, 2026

Rules for the Millennium Prize Problems
The revised rules for the Millennium Prize Problems were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Clay Mathematics Institute on 26 September, 2018. Please read this document carefully before contacting CMI about a proposed solution. In particular, please note that:
Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5
Today we’re launching Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Congrats to @LechMazur for the solution and to Terence Tao for the digestion and storytelling. You see the trend. Mathematicians are still needed if we want to make any sense of the formal proofs. For now... Maybe the next gen LLMs will simply read allthe blogs of Terry and… https://t.co/yXiISCrNAF— Bartosz Naskręcki (@nasqret) August 13, 2026
Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1: The System Card
At the time of its release Claude Fable 5.1 was, by a healthy margin, the most capable publicly available AI model in the world.

98 out of 100. That's how many advanced maths problems current AI models managed to solve in an international benchmark in Leipzig. One of the two remaining problems? A simplified version of a combinatorics problem solved by researchers from the Faculty of Information Technology CTU in Prague. Alexander Clifton, Daniela Černá and Jan Volec, together with Bartołomiej Kielak from Universität Leipzig , found the solution to a simplified version of the long-standing open problem of breaking triples with permutations. The problem was later included among the 100 tasks used to test how today's AI models perform in advanced mathematics. While AI came remarkably close, this was one of the problems it couldn't solve on its own. A nice reminder that mathematical creativity and abstract reasoning still leave some room for humans. 🧠 🔗 Read the full story in the comments. | 11 comments on LinkedIn

We're excited to be partnering with Anthropic and OpenAI to host the world's first hackathon devoted to research-level mathematics. 40 hours and $2M in compute to solve, understand, and present an open math problem. Applications are live at https://lnkd.in/d79qFQ4s We look forward to seeing you all on October 30 at Caltech!

AI Has Solved One of Math’s $1 Million Millennium Prize Problems | Quanta Magazine
Mathematicians at OpenAI showed that the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids flow, can sometimes “blow up.” But the massive result is not without controversy.
