OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra reportedly solves a 50-year-old math problem in under an hour

OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra produced a proof of the Cycle Double Cover Conjecture in under an hour, utilizing 64 subagents working in parallel. This conjecture had remained unsolved for 50 years, and mathematician Thomas Bloom expressed surprise at the proof's elementary nature, while criticizing the lack of citations for known prior work. These achievements raise questions about whether AI merely recombines existing knowledge or genuinely creates something new.
