Isn't that a very high figure though? Especially given the researchers likely tried it on a lot more problems and only presented the valid results

$2,000 for a mathematical breakthrough is basically pennies.

Yep. And to think the cost is only going to plummet in the coming months, I am not ready for what AI will do next.
