The Big Story: From Text Generators to Discovery Engines

We have officially crossed the threshold from AI productivity into AI scientific discovery. OpenAI announced that an internal version of its upcoming model family, Astra, successfully solved 10 open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science.
Rather than relying on unverified text summaries, OpenAI uploaded formal, machine-checkable Lean 4 proofs directly to GitHub. Fields Medalists and lead researchers confirmed that the formal proofs held up to academic scrutiny.
Unprecedented Research Economics
The defining headline was not just the mathematical complexity—it was the price tag. The total compute spend to resolve all 10 problems was roughly $2,000 at API rates. Problems that had stumped human mathematicians for decades were resolved for less than the cost of a high-end workplace laptop.
