OpenAI claims reasoning model disproved 80-year-old Erdős conjecture in geometry

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a geometry conjecture first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. The company says this is the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics, with verification from mathematicians including Thomas Bloom and Noga Alon.
