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
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:

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 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
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.

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!

Can AI replace mathematicians? Vienna researchers weigh in
In September, OpenAI announced that some 10,000 AI agents partially 'solved' the Navier–Stokes problem, one of the most prestigious open challenges in mathematics. University of Vienna mathematicians Nathanaël Berestycki and Vera Fischer agree that the field will never be the same, but argue that maths is far more than producing proofs at speed.

The Winning Variant
A/B testing, algorithmic optimization, and the small act of ignoring both — and what it means to make something by hand when a number can tell you what would have worked better.
