Bittensor subnet pays for Lean-verified math proofs as two decades-old conjectures fall in a week
markjeffrey · x · 2026-09-18
Conjectures.io publishes unsolved math conjectures as exact Lean statements; any model or agent can submit proofs, verified by the Lean kernel in seconds and paid on solve. In July 2026 two decades-old conjectures fell days apart via counterexamples — the 3D Jacobian Conjecture (posed 1939, construction credited to model Fable) and the Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture (found with GPT 5.6 Pro). Const argues incentive systems enable meta-search: parallelizing search over search systems themselves, dubbed 'Bitter Lesson 2.0'.
