BITTER LESSONED IN AUTOMATED THEOREM PROVING

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

OpenAI throwing hard math problems at its models was the right test in 2026. The models were capable of making progress, but not enough to fully solve the problems, so it was possible to see improvements with each update in perfect resolution. These model improvements showed how clever engineering doesn't matter - all the work done to build special-case solutions on top of a model gets squashed by improvements in the base model sooner or later. Models will one-shot superior work for pennies in the very near future.
