How does AI solve problems?

OpenAI's approach involved using around 10,000 AI agents to tackle the Navier-Stokes equations, and likely a similar method for the Hodge conjecture. This means lots of AIs working together, exploring solutions and learning from each other at incredible speed. It's a powerful way to crunch through complex information and find patterns that humans might miss.
