GPT-5 made headlines by solving an open math problem autonomously. MiniMax dropped an open-source coding agent that rivals proprietary models.

GPT-5 solves open problem in enumerative geometry

OpenAI's o3 variant autonomously solved a previously open problem in enumerative geometry — counting plane curves through specific point configurations. The model identified the problem, formulated an approach, and proved the result without human guidance.

This is the first documented case of an AI solving an open mathematical problem end-to-end. The result was verified by mathematicians and submitted to a journal. IMProofBench now tracks AI-discovered theorems.
