OpenAI reportedly close to solving the Hodge conjecture
According to a person familiar with the matter, OpenAI employees expect the company is close to a solution of the Hodge conjecture, though any announcement may be delayed and the claim is not independently confirmed. The report follows OpenAI's earlier, still-unverified Navier–Stokes claim and media say the company previously used a variant of a pretrained model codenamed "Doug" for that effort; some insiders hope such math work could feed into recursive self‑improvement research.
