GPT-5.6 Pro allegedly proves a math conjecture after one prompt
scaling01 · x · 2026-07-23
A user asked GPT-5.6 Pro to analyze which problems were solved by LLMs in 2026, then requested a list of likely solvable problems.
While taking a break and playing League, the model reportedly returned a proof of the Two-dimensional Gaussian Moments Conjecture. The author says they have no idea whether the proof is valid, so they asked another Fable instance and a second GPT-5.6 Pro instance to check it, and it seemed to hold up.
The post is framed half as a genuine math+LLM curiosity and half as a joke about possibly having “AI psychosis,” with a link to the full session.
