OpenAI AI claims three breakthroughs: Kakeya conjecture, ETH, Yang-Mills
Briefing by News4U · First published
iFanr reports OpenAI says its model solved the Kakeya conjecture in all dimensions, disproved ETH and proved Yang-Mills existence; experts invited to verify.
iFanr reports that OpenAI announced its AI model produced three claimed breakthroughs: a proof of the local smoothing conjecture in all dimensions, implying the Kakeya conjecture is solved in every dimension; a disproof of the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH); and a rigorous existence proof for four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with fermions. [1]
The outlet states that Chinese mathematician Wang Hong proved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture in 2025; OpenAI’s model extends the result to all dimensions. It adds that the original ETH proposers and Nobel laureate David Gross will lead verification teams, and all proofs are publicly posted or under expert review. [1]
