The passage around this formula
…real but almost entirely incremental and mostly orthogonal to the central P vs NP question itself. The matrix multiplication exponent — the smallest number such that two n n matrices can be multiplied in O() arithmetic operations — sets an upper bound relevant to a huge range of numerical linear algebra, and it has been chipped downward repeatedly. A January 2024 paper identified a previously unrecognized inefficiency in the leading “laser method” approach and used the fix to bring the…
