ChatGPT Solves an 80-Year-Old Geometry Conjecture, and Scientists Confirm It

OpenAI says its reasoning model has solved a geometry conjecture that went unresolved for 80 years. This time, the mathematicians who earlier debunked a false claim by the company accept the result. It is a breakthrough in using AI to tackle hard mathematical problems.

An OpenAI AI model has disproved a geometry conjecture first posed in 1946, and mathematicians have confirmed that the neural network's proof is correct.

Can a neural network prove mathematical theorems?

Yes. An OpenAI AI model solved a classic conjecture in topology, known since 1946, and professional mathematicians have accepted the result.
