OpenAI published a repository with novel solutions to a range of math problems solved by their next frontier model.
The vast majority of results were obtained with the same procedure using an unreleased internal OpenAI model.
On average, each result used three hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking compute with that model.
Over the course of the evaluation, the model was posed approximately 4,000 problems.

Grok Bot will be powered by Claude Opus 5.5, or in general will use best models available on the market, according to Elon Musk.
This is something that could in bring a big advantage to Grok Bot. I assume that OpenAI models will be out of scope tho.
Yet, raises a bit of a concern on expectations we should set for upcoming Grok models.
