The repost emphasizes that more test-time compute generally means greater intelligence, but latency becomes a bottleneck when inference time stretches from seconds to weeks.
The quote provides a specific example: GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra utilized parallelized test-time compute, deploying 64 subagents to produce a proof for the 50-year-old Cycle Double Cover Conjecture in under 1 hour. The author also shared the prompts and the proof, encouraging others to further explore Ultra's capabilities.
