ChatGPT just solved an open math problem
OpenAI just dropped new customizable audio models for voice agents while Google countered with managed AI agents running full Linux environments on Gemini API (wild timing). Meanwhile, ChatGPT o1 Pro apparently solved an open PhD-level math problem in two hours—mathematician Timothy Gowers is calling it the first really clear example of AI cracking a well-known unsolved problem. When AI starts solving problems that stump human mathematicians, should we be excited or terrified?
