According to MTS, OpenAI's AI model has proved half of the Yang-Mills problem, a million-dollar Millennium Prize problem, with approval from a review panel led by Nobel laureate David Gross. The proof was first disclosed on October 26, after the model completed the work in September. The formal proof was completed using Lean, a computer language that allows line-by-line verification.
To claim the prize, OpenAI must still prove the mass gap and meet the Clay Mathematics Institute's publication and two-year recognition period requirements.
