OpenAI claims three research breakthroughs, says exponential time hypothesis false
Original: OpenAI has announced three new findings in mathematics, computer science, and physics concerning harmonic analysis, computational complexity theory, and quantum field theory, concluding that the exponential time hypothesis is incorrect.
OpenAI has announced three new findings spanning mathematics, computer science, and physics, covering harmonic analysis, computational complexity theory, and quantum field theory. The company says the results lead to the conclusion that the exponential time hypothesis, a long-standing assumption in complexity theory, is incorrect. If verified by experts, the claim would upend a foundational assumption about which problems are inherently hard, but such a conclusion would normally require peer review.
Why now: A claim that a foundational hypothesis in complexity theory is false would be extraordinary and is being scrutinised.
