> As it turned out, the result wasn’t all that far away for humans either. A few days after I heard from Anthropic, we heard from Song He, an amplitudeologist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Song’s group had already gotten the majority of the result. They’d used some AI assistance, based on GPT-6, but not the kind of one-shot almost human-less approach Anthropic used.
Please have AI come up with something no human is also about to solve?
This gets me wondering why ai labs aren't proposing their own millenium prize type challenges.
Fair point, and i think that's fine. AI labs could just not jump themselves into such problems and let humans have a go at them, whether ai-assisted or not. As in this case with a regular budget one researcher could've access to.

No human-only was close to Navier-Stokes. The team that was close was also using AI.
