OpenAI announced this week that one of its general-purpose reasoning models made a breakthrough that has grabbed the attention of elite mathematicians.

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

Mathematician Ernest Ryu used OpenAI's GPT-5 to solve a 40-year-old convex optimization problem. Here's why it matters for crypto and beyond.
