[AINews] OpenAI GPT-next disproves 80 year old Erdős planar unit distance problem for under $1000
OpenAI has announced that an internal model, speculated to be a version of GPT-5, has disproven an 80-year-old mathematical conjecture known as the Erdős planar unit distance problem. This general-purpose reasoning model achieved the result for under $1000, a feat that mathematicians are hailing as a significant milestone for AI in scientific discovery. The model's extensive output suggests that advanced reasoning capabilities are emerging in LLMs, potentially extending beyond mathematics to other scientific fields. AI
