OpenAI researcher on internal model solving long-revered problems: 'a Copernican shift'
weijie444 · x · 2026-10-07
A researcher tied to OpenAI posted about watching the internal math model solve problems he had long stood in awe of: "Math humbles many of us... this humbled me even further."
He calls it "the start of a Copernican shift in our view of intelligence", linking the official math progress blog post — a first-hand, weighty characterization of the model's leap in mathematical ability.
