> Summary (from the article)
* OpenAI researchers claimed or suggested that GPT-5 had solved unsolved math problems, but in reality, the model only found known results that were unfamiliar to the operator of erdosproblems.com.
* Mathematician Thomas Bloom and Deepmind CEO Demis Hassabis criticized the announcement as misleading, leading the researchers to retract or amend their original claims.
* According to mathematician Terence Tao, AI models like GPT-5 are currently most helpful for speeding up basic research tasks such as literature review, rather than independently solving complex mathematical problems.
