GPT-6 Astra Only Non-Zero Scorer on 68 Unsolved Erdős Problems, Solves 5
量子位 · wechat · 2026-09-04
Epoch AI and the University of Manchester launched FrontierMath Erdős (FME), a benchmark of 68 unsolved Erdős problems requiring Lean-formalized proofs — a direct response to Terence Tao's critique of uncontrolled AI math claims. GPT-6 Astra was the only model to score non-zero (3%); with relaxed budgets it solved 5 conjectures total, including Erdős's 1931 problem #1 and the Erdős-Sós conjecture. All attempts cost over $220K, implying $10K expected cost per solved open problem; 63 problems remain unsolved.
