GPT-5.6 Solves Old Problem, Gets Hype Backlash
_onionesque · x · 2026-07-15
A post shared and commented on recent math results from GPT-5.6: claims emerged that it "solved a 50+ year-old problem posed by Erdős," but the original author explicitly stated the achievement was overhyped.
The core message is that while the result is a correct proof, it shouldn't be interpreted as a major breakthrough. The author emphasized that the main issues truly worth following remain unit distance and double cycle, rather than the hype surrounding this single problem.
