GPT Proves Stronger Mathematical Results
SebastienBubeck · x · 2026-07-19
According to cited sources, during a math proof task prompted by Korsky, GPT proved a stronger conclusion than Beck's 1991 Annals paper, using only a single page of simple harmonic analysis techniques.
The focus here isn't "just another benchmark," but rather the model's unexpected capability in generating non-trivial mathematical proofs: the result is stronger, and the proof is shorter—enough for the author to call them "crazy results."
