OpenAI already has Astra ready, a promising AI model aiming at something unsettling: mathematics’ Deep Blue moment

OpenAI unveiled Astra, an internal model, and said it had solved or made progress on 10 long-standing open math problems.

The company said the work used human supervision and Lean formalization, with total token costs of under $2,000.

Several mathematicians urged caution, saying the results need independent review and stricter verification.

The announcement raises the stakes for AI in research math, formal proof checking, and cryptography, while intensifying lab competition.
