Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics. Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it's correct. Details below.

It's as if AI could be used to find solutions to Erdos problems 🤔

ChatGPT is 3 years old. This was the TikZ's unicorn on the day it came out. Pretty wild progress in 3 years.

Seems like the Erdos problems are both an unlimited source of fun and unlimited source of drama 🤣. Turns out the problem that Harmonic solved yesterday was the "easy" version of #124 and the hard version remains open! (Funnily by the way the lean formalized version --formalized…

As the owner/maintainer of the Erdős problems website, a thread with some comments on this solution to #124: 1) This is a nice proof, which was provided by the AI from the formal statement with no human involvement and then formalised in Lean. This is already impressive!

Social media tends to frame AI debate into two caricatures: (A) Skeptics who think LLMs are doomed and AI is a bunch of hype. (B) Fanatics who think we have all the ingredients and superintelligence is imminent. But if you read what leading researchers actually say (beyond the…

One point I made that didn’t come across: - Scaling the current thing will keep leading to improvements. In particular, it won’t stall. - But something important will continue to be missing.



What was it again about AI finding solutions to Erdos problems? Boris Alexeev found the solution to #124 that has been open for 30 years, solution is 100% AI generated. Details here: erdosproblems.com/forum/thread/1…

I can't tell if it's a joke or not, but no matter what it's very funny 🤣

I guess I agree, it's the age of ACCELERATED research ;-) arxiv.org/abs/2511.16072

Not an accident

In science questions nothing comes close to o3-high / gpt5-high / gpt5.1-high. I'm running everything in both Gemini 3 and gpt5.1 and there is not even a chance. GPT 5.1 easily reasons 5x-6x as much when Gemini gives up.
