OpenAI and Anthropic Claim Disproof of Exponential Time Hypothesis

OpenAI and Anthropic said on 27 October that their AI-generated research disproves the long-standing Exponential Time Hypothesis, releasing the findings from San Francisco. The claim follows OpenAI's earlier announcement on 16 October, when the company reported that its AI system had produced a formal disproof of the hypothesis and had generated breakthroughs in mathematics and physics, as reported by The Next Web and TechCrunch. OpenAI also disclosed AI-generated results on the Kakeya conjecture and quantum chromodynamics, drawing criticism over its selective release policy.
