development2026-04-29

Claim

An MIT senior reported that GPT-5.5 has been finding solutions quicker than he can process them, with three full Erdős problem solutions already claimed and more in the supervision queue, while observers noted the models are also sweeping up neglected open problems and giving them proper statements.

Reported metric: 3 solutions queued
