But you can't do it with their internal model that is the same or a successor to the one that solved the navier stokes millenium prize problem.

With 40% formalized they probably have a good idea of how many were found to have fatal issues in the formalization attempt, and they hired some mathematicians to verify some of them, especially the big headline ones.

That's not what this is about. The person I was responding to said "if a problem I was working on had an AI also working on it, I would want to know as early as possible - even with flaws or gaps". That's what I was responding to. They were basically suggesting that the amount of mathematical slop in the world should be maximized, and then it would be up to humans to choose what they would want to read. You know, a needle in a haystack type of thing, where you're maximizing the size of the haystack.

Nobody solved the navier stokes problem, Jesus. A subproblem was possibly solved (still being verified) based on context in an actual mathematician’s chats with ChatGPT. These models on their own are still incapable of producing anything but slop.

I think it's more likely the millions of dollars of compute than the model, in many cases.
