OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra reportedly proved the ring double cover conjecture, unsolved for 50 years, in under an hour using 64 parallel sub-agents. Mathematician Thomas Bloom called the proof surprisingly elementary but criticized its lack of references to prior work. This raises questions: does AI merely reorganize existing knowledge, or create something new? The result is valuable for mathematicians and AI reasoning evaluators, showing large-scale parallel reasoning's potential. However, the citation issue underscores the need for careful verification when relying on AI-generated results.
