Its attention is within the normal range across the monitored sources. Its last hype episode in the 30-day window ran from Sep 5 to Sep 23 (peak 98 on Sep 8). AI-generated math proofs: OpenAI says 10,000 agents solved Navier–Stokes (Sep 8, 2026, proof in Lean 4, with a priority dispute) and is now targeting the Hodge Conjecture. First seen on Reddit · Sep 13 — the first monitored source to go above normal for it in the last 14 days. Why this stage: within the normal range across monitored sources. - **Stage:** 💤 Quiet — within the normal range across the monitored sources - **Hype score:** 0 / 100 · −16 in 1 day · −29.1 in 7 days - **In hype since:** not in hype now - **Peak, 30 days:** 98.1 on Sep 8, 2026 - **Category:** 💡 Concepts - **Sources above normal:** 0 of 24 scoring it (0 independent families) - **Stories in 7 days:** 43 - **Share of voice:** 0.4% of the radar’s attention in 7 days ## Where the attention comes from “Normal” is the median of the source’s previous 14 normal days for this topic. A source is above normal when its value is at least 30% over that level and stands out from its usual day-to-day variation (z ≥ 2); the share is the part of the hype score that source explains. “× normal” is left blank when the normal level is 0. | Source | Metric | Latest | Normal | × normal | Above normal | Share of score | |---|---|---:|---:|---:|---|---:| | DEV Community (dev.to) | items | 1 | 0 | — | no | 0% | | Bluesky | trending | 0 (Sep 26) | 0 | — | no | 0% | | Developer forums (Cursor, OpenAI, Hugging Face) | items | 0 | 0 | — | no | 0% | | GitHub | new repos | 0 (Sep 25) | 0 | — | no | 0% | | GitHub Trending | trending | 0 (Sep 26) | 0 | — | no | 0% | | Google Trends (Trending now) | trending | 0 (Sep 26) | 0 | — | no | 0% | | Google Trends (search interest) | search interest | 0.8 (Sep 26) | 0.8 | 1× | no | 0% | | Hugging Face Daily Papers | items | 0 | 0 | — | no | 0% | ## Stories behind it 1.
