Yuchen Jin posts a tongue-in-cheek timeline of AI's math progress: 2023 GPT-4 barely solved grade-school math, 2024 IMO silver, 2025 IMO gold, then an absurdist acceleration — May 2026 Erdős unit-distance conjecture, September 2026 Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize solved, October 2026 722 AI-written math manuscripts, today OpenAI disproves ETH, tomorrow P=NP? — satirizing the compounding pace of model math capability.
