OpenAI's internal model shows real math "research taste," experts say its proofs go beyond prior literature

Jeff Clune highlights claims that OpenAI's internal model has developed genuine mathematical "research taste." Mathematicians reviewing its work on Barnette's Conjecture and the plane chromatic number (≥6) said the methods don't derive from prior literature and go far beyond building on existing techniques — evidence, Clune argues, that AI can generate new knowledge, the last piece needed for RSI.
