AI Model GPT-5.6 Solves Quantum Crypto Problem in Record Time, Raises Questions on Independent Discovery
In a groundbreaking achievement, two research teams used OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra to solve the same quantum cryptography problem, submitting their papers just three hours apart. This feat highlights the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-assisted research and sparks debate on the notion of independent discovery in the age of advanced language models.
Two research teams independently solved the same open quantum cryptography problem using OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra, submitting their papers just three hours apart. "If someone mentions an open problem, the first thing is to see if GPT solves it," says one of the researchers. The case raises a question: what does "independent discovery" mean when everyone uses the same models?
