AI solves 25-year-old open problem in wireless communications: polynomial-time algorithm found
DimitrisPapail · x · 2026-08-09
According to an article, GPT-5.6 and Claude Fable appear to have solved an open theoretical problem in wireless communications that was intensely studied from 2000 to 2010. The problem involves transmitting N bits through an N×N Gaussian channel and recovering them exactly; it was known to be information-theoretically possible but required exponential search, and now a polynomial-time algorithm has been proven.
