OpenAI model finds counterexample to 80-year-old Erdős conjecture in collaboration with mathematicians
An OpenAI model just disproved an 80-year-old math conjecture. Not assisted. Not suggested a direction. Found the actual counterexample that broke it. That sentence deserves more attention than it’s getting. The conjecture comes from Paul Erdős, one of the most prolific and influential mathematicians of the 20th century.
