Side-by-side comparison of OpenAI's and Anthropic's proofs refuting ETH

basedjensen · x · 2026-10-28

A community comparison juxtaposes the proofs refuting the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) produced by OpenAI and Anthropic. The Anthropic version features uniform dependence on clause width k and a simpler main argument built on an identity and a recurrence. The post reflects a broader wave of scrutiny as AI labs race to announce breakthroughs in mathematics and researchers begin benchmarking the quality of each lab's mathematical output against the others.
