OpenAI says its models produced a proof that the Exponential Time Hypothesis is false

According to a post on X by @engadget, citing an Engadget report, OpenAI says its models generated a proof refuting the Exponential Time Hypothesis, a central conjecture in complexity theory. The claim is part of new math and physics results from the company. Anthropic made a similar claim for its Claude model earlier this week. The post says the results still need outside verification.

If the proof holds up, the post describes it as a landmark for AI in mathematics. Mathematicians and complexity theorists will need to check the work independently before its significance is clear. Watch for outside review of both the OpenAI and Anthropic claims.
