GPT-5.6 Pro Computes Galois Group from First Principles in Retest

PMinervini · x · 2026-08-08

A user repeated a Galois group computation experiment a year later using the latest GPT-5.6 Pro. Because the model is now too capable—immediately firing the correct built-in CAS command—the tester had to use a highly restrictive prompt, forbidding the use of databases or SymPy commands.

Instructed to develop the full resolvent computation from first principles, GPT-5.6 Pro successfully completed the task. The user noted that the detailed output feels like watching a model build an entire Galois theory course live, making it highly educational.
