ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, 박사 수준 수학 연구를 독립적으로 수행
필즈상 수상자 Timothy Gowers에 따르면 OpenAI의 ChatGPT 5.5 Pro가 2시간 이내에 미해결 정수론 문제를 풀었으며, 인간의 개입 없이 수학적 한계를 개선하는 독창적인 증명을 만들어냈습니다.
fields medalist timothy gowers used openai's chatgpt 5.5 pro to tackle open problems in number theory, with the model producing complete, verified scientific papers in under two hours without any mathematical guidance. in one instance, the model solved a problem in 17 minutes by swapping a standard proof component for a more efficient variant, improving an exponential bound to a quadratic one. when challenged with a harder problem, the model escalated its reasoning over roughly 40 minutes to achieve a polynomial bound, a result mit researcher isaac rajagopal described as the sort of idea a human would be proud to find after weeks of work. the model autonomously formatted the results into latex preprints, marking a significant milestone in ai's capability to perform high-level, novel mathematical research.
