At Physical Superintelligence PBC ("PSI"), the startup I cofounded with @alexwg, we like shipping, not hyping. So here’s the world's first agentic copilot built by physicists, for physicists. What started as an internal tool, we're now releasing open-source: Get Physics Done.

If this is true, using the best public estimates we have of LLM resource use, solving this Erdos problem took 0.6–6.3 kWh of electricity and about 3–31 liters of water. So that is less than three almonds worth of water and the electricity equivalent of 2-20 miles of EV driving.

just quick napkin math on how long this took (unless i missed where they said): the published CoT summary is 111,145 tokens long. it's really hard to say how much they summarized, assume 3x-20x reduction in tokens? and i'm assuming this is gpt-5.6 pro, so taking Artifical Analysis' benchmark of 51ms tok/sec at 100k input for gpt 5.5. underestimate prob hard to say this seems a bit low so going to multiply all of this by 2x then this probably took anywhere between 5 hours to 32 hours. so like $120 - $1000 in gpt 5.5 pro tokens whole point is not that long for a result of this magnitude!

If you are a mathematician, then you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

I’m at a Chuck E. Cheese enjoying the ritual of American plenty in blinking technicolor: “hand-chopped salads”, cardboard pizza, “Dippin’ Dots”. The teens don their costumes in the break-room and drag on vapes. The bounce area is full and shrieking. I will drink too much pink lemonade. The empire feels no weakness. Springtime blooms.

ditto for physics…

Timothy Gowers @wtgowers@wtgowers

But if AI mathematics continues to progress at anything like its current rate -- which is what I expect to happen -- then we will face a crisis very soon, and mathematics departments, who owe a duty of care to their students, should be urgently preparing for it.

The deep & mysterious combinatorial-category theoretic structure that stands behind both discrete & continuous mathematical structures in @getjonwithit’s “infracaculus” program is the same that stands behind the canonical QM & spacetime structures unified in Nima’s Amplituhedron.

My personal intuitions and leanings are indeed in this direction. But Sean Carroll, Leonard Susskind, and many other top physicists and physics collaborators keep saying that no, the continuum is inevitable. Maybe they lack imagination? But believe when they say they've tried to make it work without it! Wolfram's project might have traction among CS people but is not recognized as finished or necessarily compelling by hard core physicists proper. QRI models of consciousness take into account the possibility of a continuum as a foundation for physics, but hedge their bets. Cf. Process topological monadology!

Emmett Shear@eshear

If your fundamental theory of physics includes the continuum, it’s almost certainly nonphysical. Any real mechanism has to be implemented by a finite process.
