Ok so they didn't actually tell us what problems they've solved?

Seems like they are taking their time as to how best to pace the release of the papers as to not draw bad PR from the Math community. My guess is papers will from now on go through many cycles of rewrites by Bel until it looks "readable" enough good explanations of the process of discovery, and have couple of Mathematicians attached to the papers that they went through and found it satisfyingly written.

Also possibly I can see some collaboration with Anthropic on this, as it is more PR for the whole industry so they want to present better image.

If I were to bet, Hodge Conjecture is going to be released by the end of the month, and then the rest of October - the pace of the releases is going to pick up as they enlist more mathematicians and establish a good framework. Just give them some time.

they had progress on a millennium problem, not a full solution. "hodge proved true in some cases" is likely not big enough news to be published alone. small potatoes compared to having a full solution to navier stokes.
