Over the weekend. OpenAI announced that their new pre release AI system, Astra. Had produced Ten math results that I'm quoting here.
Resolve or make substantial progress on longstanding open problems. Now Noam Brown, who's actually one of my favorite AI researchers. Tweet out a list of what these ten results were. And they included things like A better bound for high dimensional sphere packing, a new lower bound example for arithmetic circuits, and two counterexamples for From extremal
Graph theory. Now I was personally excited by these results because Many of them touch on areas of applied mathematics that I actually use uh in my research as a theoretical computer scientist. And it was sort of neat, right, to see that you had this uh Giant. AI company happening to turn its attention like a sort of GPU powered eye of Sword on this little narrow field of discrete mathematics where
