A 43-year Harvard study of 130,000 people just dropped some major news about your morning coffee.
It is more than a stimulant. It's the best way to prevent dementia. There is also one big catch though.
Here is what the JAMA study found: (1/11)
GPT-5 just casually did new mathematics.
Sebastien Bubeck gave it an open problem from convex optimization, something humans had only partially solved. GPT-5-Pro sat down, reasoned for 17 minutes, and produced a correct proof improving the known bound from 1/L all the way to 1.5/L.
This wasn’t in the paper. It wasn’t online. It wasn’t memorized. It was new math. Verified by Bubeck himself.
Humans later closed the gap at 1.75/L, but GPT-5 independently advanced the frontier.
A machine just contributed original research-level mathematics.
If you’re not completely stunned by this, you’re not paying attention.
We’ve officially entered the era where AI isn’t just learning math, it’s creating it. @sama@OpenAI@kevinweil@gdb@markchen90
