OpenAI Model Reportedly Solved 100+ Major Math Problems in 3 Weeks; Physics Next?
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-09-22
A speculation thread notes that an OpenAI model has reportedly solved at least 100 major math problems over the past three weeks. Citing Sam Altman's stated ambition to find a room-temperature superconductor, the author wonders whether OpenAI has already shifted toward attacking major physics problems — which would be "100x more epic" than math breakthroughs. Unconfirmed, but a notable signal of AI-for-science ambitions.
