Must not have already been solved by humans.
Update 2024-21-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - The substantial work must be done by an AI system
Human assistance to the AI is allowed
AI assistance to humans is not sufficient for resolution
Update 2026-09-08 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Official certification by the Clay Mathematics Institute is not required for the market to resolve YES.

@nikthink this is a market about whether a millennium prize problem gets solved in 2026. A millennium prize problem was solved so it resolves as yes
@nikthink Lean did. And mathematicians (not from OpenAI) wrote down the exact statement, and others carefully reviewed the statement.
It's not "official", but it seems fully reasonable to not wait 2 years for Clay to reach a verdict.
@jim is this about whether the solution is announced / communicated in 2026 or whether the whatever its name is institute is confident enough that the problem was solved that they give out the prize in 2026 (which might cause much delay)
@Bayesian the criterion is this right « There is consensus among leading experts in the relevant field that the problem has been solved »
I'm curious how you'll distinguish between these outcomes:
Human assistance to the AI is allowed
AI assistance to humans is not sufficient for resolution
If an AI writes most of a proof but the result has slight issues requiring a human to think hard to fix, who did most of the work? Will you try to identify the hardest crux of the problem and determine whether it was overcome by the AI or the human? What if the human does not reveal exactly which parts were AI-driven?
I think a likely scenario is that a problem could be solved by a human working in tandem with LLMs, and that it would be implausible for either party to have solved it on their own. I'd put mana on Yes if it's deemed that "the human would've been unable to solve it without the assistance of AI" resolves to Yes.
