Watch the originalSam Altman confirmed OpenAI spent approximately $10 million per Navier-Stokes proof but revealed they've now produced hundreds of millions of dollars worth of unpublished math discoveries — and he felt "sadness" watching entire academic fields fall in a single weekend.
Key takeaways
Google's Gemini 4 Carbon may be an Opus 5.5 clone, not a genuine frontier leap
Google's Gemini 4 Carbon may be an Opus 5.5 clone, not a genuine frontier leap
- Alex Weezner Gross says Carbon sits exactly on Opus 5.5's cost-vs-intelligence curve, suggesting it's cranked-up Opus 5.5 at higher cost
- Model isn't generally available; comparing it to released models is 'apples to oranges' since OpenAI/Anthropic likely have unreleased models too
OpenAI holds hundreds of millions of dollars of unpublished math proofs, including likely more Millennium problems
OpenAI holds hundreds of millions of dollars of unpublished math proofs, including likely more Millennium problems
- Sam Altman admits OpenAI spent ~$10M per proof on Navier-Stokes, and 'hundreds of millions' total on unpublished math
- Alex Weezner Gross predicts Yang-Mills already solved, plus complexity hierarchy collapses beyond ETH, held back from publication
Hyperscaler capex isn't buying AI applications — it's capital expenditure replacing operational expense for human workers
Hyperscaler capex isn't buying AI applications — it's capital expenditure replacing operational expense for human workers
- Alex Weezner Gross: Microsoft/Oracle aren't substituting AI for employees; they're diverting cash from opex (salaries) to capex (data centers)
- Microsoft's 60k exit offer is cash shortage for opex, not AI directly replacing jobs
