OpenAI says it has solved a mathematical problem that had challenged researchers for almost a century

CNN Portugal9 September 2026 at 12:15

OpenAI announced it has solved a mathematical problem that had challenged researchers for almost a century. The solution was reached after 88 hours of computational work and then verified by the GPT-6 Astra model in approximately 17 hours.

The problem in question is not specified in the article, but its resolution represents a significant milestone in the field of computational mathematics and artificial intelligence. The feat was achieved through massive computational resources and the reasoning capability of the AI model developed by the company.

OpenAI, the company led by Sam Altman, positioned this result as a demonstration of the advanced capabilities of its AI systems in solving complex problems that escape resolution by traditional methods.

However, the announcement did not come without controversy. The article states that the revelation was marked by controversy, although the specific details of the debate are not presented in the available text.

Liberals pressure Government to accelerate autonomous car tests

The parliamentary group of the Liberal Initiative recommended to the Portuguese Government that it authorize autonomous driving tests in Portugal, following the example of countries such as France, Belgium, or Denmark. The liberals propose that the Executive, in coordination with the IMT, promote authorization for testing Tesla Full Self-Driving technology already approved by the RDW in the Netherlands, and that it recognize approvals from other EU Member States. The IL argues that the EU has wasted opportunities in this area, falling behind China and the USA, and that the existence of national regulation should not prevent recognition of solutions already authorized in other European countries, at the risk of placing Portugal at a disadvantage. The Government of Luís Montenegro has not yet publicly expressed any position on the matter.
