Sam Altman has in recent years become one of the most well known tech CEOs in the world.
OpenAI says it has found a solution to a decades-old advanced maths problem in a matter of hours using a new artificial intelligence (AI) model and thousands of AI bots.
The ChatGPT-maker said on Tuesday, external that by focusing a group of roughly 10,000 AI agents, or AI bots that undertake tasks somewhat autonomously, it solved a notoriously difficult maths problem in just 88 hours.
The problem was part of the Navier-Stokes equations, external, which concern how fluids move. For 90 years important aspects of the problems have lacked a proof, the argument underlying a correct math equation.
OpenAI called the solution which it found a "milestone" and evidence that AI tools are improving quickly.
