Information theory: another bombshell in mathematics

So, here’s a remarkable new claim from OpenAI: an AI model has produced a 64-page proof that the Exponential Time Hypothesis, a long-standing assumption in theoretical computer science, is false. The proof was also checked by a computer program, though mathematicians still need to examine and understand it. Adding to the excitement, Anthropic says its Claude model reached essentially the same result by a different route just six hours later. This does not solve P versus NP, but it challenges a widely used assumption with important implications for complexity theory.
