Our 2025 Nature Physics note aged quickly. OpenAI’s release today makes clear that AI-assisted mathematical discovery at the highest level is no longer hypothetical.
Quoting @nasqret: I think that when we published this note in Nature Physics with @KenOno691 last year, nobody expected the era of “superhuman mathematicians” to arrive in 2026. And it's a big mess. I think that's what surprises me the most. https://t.co/CNCWicspHG
