GPT-5.6 Sol、30年越しの統計学問題を90分で解決——核心的予想を反証することで
OpenAIのGPT-5.6 Sol Proが、30年前からの統計学の予想を90分で反証。GPT-5.5が20時間かけて失敗した課題であり、理論研究におけるAIの役割拡大を示唆している。
researchers used openai's gpt-5.6 sol pro to construct a statistical model that disproves the assumption that the benjamini-hochberg procedure works reliably on correlated, continuous data, resolving a 30-year-old open question. the model achieved this in roughly 90 minutes, whereas gpt-5.5 failed to find a valid solution even after 20 hours of computation, marking a significant benchmark in ai capability. while the observed deviation in false discovery rates is relatively small, the finding proves that a widely used method can fail under specific conditions. experts note this signals a shift where ai can handle theoretical proof discovery, raising questions about the future role of human insight in statistical research.
