OAI researcher on Erdos problem: βThis is the biggest deal in the history of AI so far. And it will look like a small deal at the end of the year.β (Buckle up)
OpenAI's model apparently disproved a discrete geometry conjecture related to the ErdΕs unit distance problem β a legitimate open math problem, not a benchmark. An OAI researcher claims this is 'the biggest deal in the history of AI so far,' which is hyperbolic, but AI producing novel mathematical results that weren't in training data is a meaningful threshold worth understanding carefully.
