A neurosurgery resident with little formal advanced math training has successfully solved the Crouzeix conjecture, a major 20+ year old open problem in operator theory and matrix analysis, using LLMs.
The decisive theorem reportedly emerged from a 16-hour autonomous GPT-5.6 Sol run. Experts, including Michel Crouzeix himself, have reviewed the proof and believe it to be correct.
