Redditor claims ChatGPT cracked an unsolved Erdős problem, seeks verification

- A Reddit user says he asked ChatGPT at its highest reasoning setting (Sol Max) to tackle an unsolved Erdős problem (difficulty cap 5.6) while burning through his Plus tokens, and it apparently produced a complete solution.
- He re-verified with separate chats using both Sol Max and Astra Max and got consistent results, making him doubt it was a hallucination.
- The poster has no math background and can't even understand the problem, and is now asking where to submit the solution for expert review; the claim is unverified.
