Wow!
Boris Power calls OpenAI integer multiplication progress "Wow!"
AISummary
Boris Power, who owns the OpenAI account, posted only the word "Wow!" with no details. Background from a separate post says the integer multiplication problem #109 witness value κ rose to 2⁻¹⁰·⁵⁴⁷ (about 6.6857 × 10⁻⁴), past the 2⁻¹¹ threshold. The author notes gains are now fractional and a major breakthrough is still needed.

Eleventh update to OpenAI problem #109 (integer multiplication): κ rises to 2⁻¹⁰·⁵⁴⁷, still past 2⁻¹¹. Witness value: κ = 2⁻¹⁰·⁵⁴⁷ = 6.6857 × 10⁻⁴ (tightened from κ = 2⁻¹⁸²) This κ is about 1.09 fold our previous witness value κ = 2⁻¹⁰·⁶⁶⁶ = 6.1534 × 10⁻⁴, and a 2¹⁷¹ fold improvement in κ over the original OAI result. We seem to be approaching a wall. Gains now come in fractions of a percent. The next real jump needs a big breakthrough which we are unable to find yet.View quoted post on X
