OpenAI宣布其一个内部通用模型在组合几何领域取得突破，自主解决了平面单位距离问题。这一问题由数学家Paul Erdős于1946年提出，近80年来学界普遍认为最优解应近似于方形网格结构。新模型推翻了这一长期信念，发现了一族全新的、更优的构造方案。此事件标志着人工智能首次独立解决数学领域的核心开放问题，展示了AI在科学发现方面快速且持续的进展能力。

Today, we’re sharing that a general-purpose internal @openai model achieved a breakthrough on one of the best-known combinatorial geometry problems. Less than 1 year ago frontier AI models were at IMO gold-level performance. I expect this pace of progress to continue.
Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.在 X 查看被引用的帖子
