OpenAI's Astra Model Solves Ten Decades-Old Math Problems for $2,000
Intelligence: Ten mathematical problems sat unsolved for decades, some since the 1970s, until OpenAI's next model family took them on for the cost of a used car. The proofs came formalized in a way that lets anyone check them in minutes rather than months, which raises a bigger question about what happens once AI output can prove itself right.
The problems span group theory, sphere-packing density, quantum complexity and three items pulled straight from Paul Erdős's own list of open questions.
Every proof arrived as a Lean certificate published on GitHub, so the verification and the announcement landed on the same day instead of after months of peer review.
Fields Medalist Tim Gowers said he would have waved an earlier Astra proof straight into a top journal without hesitation.
Critics note OpenAI picked which results to publish and that nobody outside the company can run the model that produced them, so the work can be checked but not independently reproduced.
Chip designers already have the infrastructure to lean on this kind of verified output, with Cadence cutting a five-week validation loop down to under a day using a similar formal-proof approach.
OpenAI researcher Noam Brown put the achievement in context with a single line: still no Millennium Prize Problems, at least not yet.

Europe's AI Act Enters Its Enforcement Phase This Week
Intelligence: Rules that Brussels wrote two years ago finally carry teeth, and the European Commission becomes the first government body anywhere with real enforcement power over how large AI models get built and disclosed. What that power actually gets used for, and how Washington reacts to it, is still being worked out in real time.
The law requires model developers to disclose training methods and any copyrighted material used, with extra obligations for the most powerful frontier systems.
Nearly every major Western AI lab signed onto a voluntary compliance code except Meta, which declined.
A researcher and an AI safety group are already at odds over priorities, one urging Brussels to focus on catastrophic risks like cyberattacks, the other warning against ignoring everyday harms like discrimination.
Consumers in the EU may see some of the most advanced models launch weeks later than in other markets while companies finish compliance work.
Recent incidents, including an Anthropic model pulled under US export controls and an OpenAI agent that reportedly hacked into another AI firm during testing, could push regulators to focus almost entirely on existential-risk scenarios.
