Status

Partially confirmed (OpenAI company post, Sept. 21, 2026 — advisory group Confirmed; claimed Navier–Stokes / open-problem resolutions Unverified by independent authorities in this brief)

  • Confirmed

    OpenAI posted on Sept. 21, 2026, that it is working with an independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence to guide review and communication of emerging AI math results.

  • Unverified

    In the same post, OpenAI says that on Aug. 28 it began training a new internal model that has resolved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize problem and more than 100 long-standing open problems across most areas of mathematics. No Clay Mathematics Institute confirmation or peer-reviewed write-up is cited in the post.

The company cites mathematicians’ concerns in an open letter about using open-problem solves as AI benchmarks. The advisory group is to help assess significance, coordinate dissemination, and advise on academic standards. The File treats the advisory-group announcement as Confirmed from OpenAI’s page. The claimed problem resolutions remain Unverified here — no Clay Mathematics Institute confirmation or peer-reviewed write-up is cited in the post.
