Russia has demonstrated the delivery of nuclear warheads to the territory of Belarus.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported that nuclear munitions have been delivered to the storage points of the missile brigade in Belarus.

This is happening as part of exercises, where Belarusian military personnel are practicing the equipping of missile carriers with "special munitions", the covert deployment of units, and preparation for launches.

Recall that Belarus and Russia are currently conducting nuclear exercises, including with the use of "Iskander" missiles, designed for strikes on Europe.

New York City is underwater after heavy rainfall triggered flash flood warnings across the boroughs, with some areas receiving over 6 inches of rain in just a few hours.

The Long Island Expressway was shut down in both directions, and the F train suspended service due to station flooding at Jamaica-179th Street.

Six inches of rain shouldn't do this to a major city, but clogged drains and years of deferred maintenance will.

SITUATION EXPLAINED: OpenAI solves a real math problem

In 1946, renowned mathematician Paul ErdΕ‘s defined a simple problem: if you place n points in a plane, what is the maximum possible number of pairs of points that can be exactly 1 unit of distance apart? This problem, the planar unit distance problem, became one of the most well-known in the field of combinatorial geometry. ErdΕ‘s conjectured that the β€œsquare lattice” solution shown below was more or less optimal.

An internal OpenAI model just disproved this conjecture, finding a more optimal solution. This is a big deal. This isn’t a literature review that found a previously unpublished human solution, or a slight improvement to an existing human solution, or a solution to some minor subproblem that no one cares about. It’s a fully AI-discovered novel solution to a well-known open problem central to a field of mathematics.

Just as crucially, the result came from a general-purpose reasoning model, not a model specifically designed for math like Google’s AlphaProof. It’s possible that this model is the next version of GPT-5.5 Pro, soon to be released to millions of ChatGPT subscribers worldwide. The dream of a genius in everyone’s pocket is one step closer to becoming a reality.

OpenAI made history today.

An internal reasoning model autonomously disproved a famous conjecture in mathematics that stood for nearly 80 years.

The problem: In 1946, Paul ErdΕ‘s asked how many pairs of points can be exactly 1 unit apart if you place n points on a flat surface. The best known answer came from square grid constructions, and ErdΕ‘s himself conjectured you can't do meaningfully better. Mathematicians believed this for decades.

The AI proved him wrong. It found entirely new point configurations that beat the square grid by a fixed polynomial factor, not a marginal improvement, a real mathematical gap.

The proof uses methods from algebraic number theory, a completely different branch of math, Class field towers, Golod-Shafarevich theory, tools nobody expected to be relevant to a geometry problem about distances in the plane (reminds me of move 37, AlphaGo tbh).

Fields Medalist Tim Gowers calls it "a milestone in AI mathematics." The proof was verified by leading external mathematicians.

According to OpenAI, this is the first time AI has independently solved a prominent open research problem in mathematics!

Caveat: Obviously OpenAI chose which problems to test the model on. So "autonomous" means the model generated the idea and wrote the proof, not that it wandered into the problem on its own.

But if reasoning models can reliably make cross-domain connections like this, finding paths that experts didn't prioritize, this changes research far beyond math. Biology, physics, materials science, medicine.

This isn't AI reproducing human knowledge anymore. This is AI producing new knowledge. That's a qualitative shift.

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul ErdΕ‘s 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.
