OpenAI claims new reasoning model solved 80-year-old math problem

The model disproved a geometry conjecture posed by Paul Erdős in 1946, with backing from mathematicians Noga Alon, Melanie Wood, and Thomas Bloom. OpenAI previously made a false claim about GPT-5 solving Erdős problems. The company says this is the first time AI autonomously solved a prominent open problem in mathematics.
