Top-reasoning GPT confidently defends a basic linear algebra bug in a proof
MvsCerezo · x · 2026-09-29
A developer reports finding a bug in a theoretical proof generated by top-reasoning GPT (5.6 Atra): the error was basic linear algebra — representation theory of GL(d) in quantum mechanics, not fancy math. Worse, when asked to justify the wrong math, the model kept confidently pushing it until the error was pointed out. A fresh reminder to verify every proof line by hand.
