Ranking three years of math discoveries: 87% AI-made, 59% released by OpenAI today
willdepue · x · 2026-10-07
willdepue asked GPT 6 Pro and Fable 5.1 to rank all math discoveries from the last three years, tagging human vs AI contributions:
- 13% human (e.g. geometric Langlands, 2024), 87% AI-discovered, mostly from OpenAI's math repo
- 59% of the list was released "today," matching OpenAI's dump of results from an internal frontier model
- Items include Lean-formalized finite-time blowup for 3D Navier-Stokes, a rational Hodge conjecture variant, a quasi-Riemann hypothesis, Unique Games, and undecidability of Hilbert's tenth problem over Q
- "81% of them have been released today. wtf"
