Exact overlaps conjecture for self-similar measures on the line proved
A central conjecture of fractal geometry, open in general since Hochman’s 2014 breakthrough, now has a proof whose key part came from a GPT-6 Astra session. The authors rewrote and formalized it in Lean, and OpenAI’s own release claims the same theorem.

Braverman & He refute the 2004 undirected multiple-unicast (network coding) conjecture with a GPT-6-found counterexample on PG(2, 9)
A 22-year-old network coding conjecture is false: on undirected networks, coding can beat routing. The counterexample came from GPT-6, and the Princeton authors checked it with a standalone symbolic verifier.
