# OpenAI’s Astra just proved 10 long-standing math and science theorems. The tokens cost $2,000.

**[The New Stack](https://daily.dev/sources/newstack)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

OpenAI announced that an internal version of its next frontier model, Astra, produced machine-verified proofs for 10 long-standing problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science. The compute cost was estimated at roughly $2,000 in GPT-5.6 Sol API tokens. The key implication is that frontier AI reasoning can now be framed as a budgetable inference expense — similar to renting cloud compute — potentially opening advanced research capabilities to smaller teams and labs via API access rather than requiring ownership of expensive infrastructure.
