[00:00:00]Open AI, the company behind ChatGPT, announced >> [clears throat] >> uh that one of its AI reasoning models had autonomously solved a famous geometry problem that has been unsolved since 1946, 80 years. The problem was originally posted by a Hungarian mathematician named Paul Erdos, who was one of the most prolific mathematicians in history.

[00:00:25]He published more than 1,500 papers in his lifetime and offered cash prizes for problems that he couldn't solve himself.

[00:00:32]Now, this particular geometry puzzle had resisted the efforts of some of the world's greatest minds and mathematical mathematicians and physicists for 80 years, and an AI system cracked it on its own. It didn't look up the answer.
