OpenAI says an internal next-gen model found 10 new results on open math problems

- A retweet claims OpenAI's next model, codenamed Astra, is already unusually strong in both depth and breadth.
- The post cites OpenAI's own claim that an internal version of the next major model produced 10 new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science.
- It also emphasizes that this was done using roughly $2,000 worth of tokens at GPT-5.6 Sol API rates, implying the capability is emerging before the company has fully used the compute it has planned for next year and beyond.
- The poster frames this as evidence that future OpenAI models could be substantially more capable.
