Blog: GPT5.5Pro solves Erdős's Unit Distance ProblemScott Aaronson (Shtetl-Optimized)

Scott Aaronson's blog reports that GPT5.5Pro has solved Paul Erdős's 1946 Unit Distance Problem, a central open problem in discrete geometry. The model reportedly proved the conjecture that at most n^(1+o(1)) pairs of n points can be unit distance. The post reflects on the implications for AI-driven mathematics.
