GPT-5 Reproduced Lupsasca's Best Physics Paper in 30 Minutes
“Then when GPT-V came out. It was able to reproduce one of my best papers that took me a very long time to come up with, in like, 30 minutes.”
AI Resolved Theoretical Physics Problem That Puzzled Experts for a Year
“AI has become superhuman, at least on certain tasks. And that's what led to these recent papers which maybe we should talk about that resolve a problem that was puzzling physicists for experts in the field for over a year, and they weren't able to resolve it a…”
ChatGPT Solved Open Physics Problem Before Collaborator's Flight Landed
“We decided to start working on it using AI a little bit before Andy was scheduled to come, like the week before. And in fact, using ChatGPT, we solved the problem before he even got off the plane.”
Internal OpenAI Model Proved Gluon Amplitude Formula in 12 Hours
“We had this Internal model that could think for a very long time and was extra strong in physics. So we gave it the whole problem from scratch without actually giving it this. We just formulated the problem in a very sharp way and asked the model to solve, to …”
Current AI Models Churn Out Papers Equal to Human-Written Ones
“I think we now have models that can really churn out papers that are as good as Hubert written papers.”
Codex Wrote Complex SYK Physics Simulation in 10 Minutes
“Codex just wrote up a simulation of the SYK model. This is like a very technical thing in quantum mechanics and gravity. And like, yeah, a lot of research groups have been trying to run this simulation and it couldn't do it. And Codex did it in 10 minutes.”
ChatGPT Pro Derived All Math in Recent Quantum Gravity Paper
“It's a real solid result in quantum gravity that was done pretty much completely by an AI. With humans steering it and asking kind of the right questions, but all the math was derived by ChatGPT Pro, the public model you can access.”
Frontier AI Models Can Solve Six-Month Graduate Physics Starter Problems
“And I think the issue is that many such problems now, I would say these models can probably crush. Yeah. These are problems that we usually take again, you know, timescale for a theoretical physics paper is six months to a year. That's pretty typical.”
Terry Tao Says AI Math Proofs Merely Cite Obscure References
“I talked to Terry Tao a couple of weeks ago at UCLA. We had an OpenAI event with IPAM, which is this Institute of Mathematics there. And I talked to Terry Tao and he said that in his view, all of the proofs that he's seen AI come up with in math, even the ones…”
ChatGPT Pro Generated Lupsasca's Exact Top Three Follow-Up Physics Questions
“You can take this page of this paper and you can feed it to ChatGPT Pro, say, like the best model we have out right now, and you can ask it, what should I do next? Give me the top three follow-up questions to ask based on this paper. I've done this experiment …”
Physicists Can Use Parallel AI Chats to Scout Unknown Research Paths
“With AI, actually, you can launch 10 instances of chat and have each one try a different route and send it as a scout that moves very fast into the unknown, pushing outwards. And you can just very quickly get some feedback to see, okay, these approaches are no…”
Interactive LLMs Will Replace Static Scientific Papers Within 20 Years
“If you ask me, would I be confident that in 20 years we'll have these sort of like static documents in which we publish our results as papers? I would think not. Like that doesn't seem like the best thing we could be doing. Maybe some kind of interactive paper…”
AI Proof Generation Shifts Human Scientific Burden to Automated Verification
“Now that we're in this regime where you can just get ChatGPT to tackle thousands of questions at the same time, and it will return proofs for a significant fraction of them. Now, actually the onus is back on the humans to verify all the outputs. And so, yeah, …”
