Report: OpenAI's Unreleased Model Spends $100K+ Compute Per Math Attempt

The AI community is actively discussing the astonishing capabilities and compute costs of OpenAI's unreleased internal models. According to a cited thread, the model can solve the unit distance problem 48% of the time fully autonomously when given enough compute.
Analysis suggests OpenAI may have spent over $10M to generate the data for a recent blog post. With each data point representing 100 attempts, it's estimated that a single attempt at the highest compute level cost around $50K. This implies that spending $100K-$150K yields a high probability of solving complex math problems. Furthermore, the poster hyperbolically claimed GPT-6 is already AGI, citing its alleged ability to find a counter-example to the Jacobian conjecture in one shot.
