Israeli AI startup claims to crack 38-year-old graph theory problem for $2,000
Original: An Israeli AI startup says it cracked a 38 year old graph theory bound for $2,000
An Israeli AI startup says its system solved a graph theory bound that had stood for 38 years, and that the breakthrough cost only about $2,000 in computing. The claim, reported by Fortune, is drawing attention as a potential sign that AI can make genuine progress on long-standing open problems in mathematics at remarkably low cost. Experts are expected to scrutinise whether the result holds up to formal verification.
Why now: People are discussing it because a cheap AI system reportedly solved a decades-old mathematical problem, which would be a notable milestone for AI in science.
