Did GPT-5.6 Use a Prompt to Close a 30-Year Gap in Convex Optimization?

First seen · 7/18/2026, 09:00 PMLatest activity · 7/18/2026, 09:00 PM

The item claims that OpenAI's GPT-5.6 used a single prompt to resolve a roughly 30-year gap in convex optimization. The supplied metadata contains only a Hacker News discussion title, a score of 601, and 391 comments; it does not provide a paper, proof, authors, theorem statement, or reproducible verification. It should therefore be treated as an unverified community claim rather than an established mathematical breakthrough.
