News Sep 9, 2026 OpenAI reports a Navier-Stokes blowup for a Millennium Prize problem An internal model and thousands of coordinating agents produced a machine-checked argument that smooth three-dimensional flow can reach unbounded speed in finite time. Giulio Prisco 2 min read
Mindbytes Sep 28, 2026 Why AI Reasoning Steps Can Backfire Chain-of-thought prompting can backfire, a mathematical study finds. Gains depend on whether intermediate steps carry information. Too little relevance makes reasoning worse than ordinary answers. gizmo guru 2 min read
Article Sep 14, 2026 AI is blowing up mathematics. So what? My guess is that the remaining Millennium Prize Problems, and then large stretches of physics and the other formal sciences, will go the same way. But so what? Giulio Prisco 9 min read
News Sep 7, 2026 Claude writes a computer-checked proof of Fermat’s last theorem Agents spent eleven days turning a famous 1990s argument into Lean code so a machine could check every step from the basic rules of mathematics. Giulio Prisco 2 min read
Article Nov 18, 2025 AI-generated fun with vibe coding, math and physics (part 2) I’ve been experimenting with vibe coding, math and physics with the artificial intelligence (AI) assistance from Grok. I find the topics that we're exploring very interesting, but that alone wouldn't make me dedicate too much time and effort to this project (I'm not detail-oriented). Rather, I want to test the performance of today's AI on things that I know well enough. Giulio Prisco 8 min read
