ai morning #40 — openai's internal model solved ten open math problems for $2,000
from thehype radio – ai morning
An internal OpenAI model nobody has seen publicly just produced ten new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science. The compute bill was roughly two thousand dollars. Things mathematicians have spent careers on — solved. That price tag is the story.Marcus walks through what happened, why the community immediately called this GPT-6 by name, and what a $2,000 proof budget means for builders who are still treating AI as a writing tool.In this episode:00:00 Intro01:27 OpenAI solves ten math problems for $2K — An internal next-gen OpenAI model cracked a decade of open problems in sphere packing, group theory, and quantum complexity — for roughly two03:23 Anthropic $10B deal — Anthropic bets $10B on a months-old compute startup as China calls its Mythos model a threat — and DeepSeek undercuts Fable 5 by over 100x on05:09 Cheap inference wins every metric this — DeepSeek leads OpenRouter at 7.1T tokens, a Cursor/Claude routing pack tops GitHub with 2,310 stars in 24h, and TencentDB Agent Memory surges — cost06:26 White House AI meeting, GPT-6 whisper — Trump hosts AI companies today for a voluntary safety framework; Anthropic's Mythos geopolitics brewing ahead of Xi-Trump summit07:33 Taste is the last human edge — When intelligence costs $2K per breakthrough, the bottleneck isn't compute — it's knowing which problems are worth pointing it at.—ai morning by thehype — your daily AI news show.
