Claude Mythos reportedly solves OpenAI's landmark Erdős problem with a "cute, simple proof"

Shortly after OpenAI disproved Erdős' unit-distance conjecture, Anthropic shows Claude Mythos can solve the problem too - "over the weekend." Engineer Sholto Douglas says Mythos cracked the 1946 conjecture with a "cute, simple proof," a sign of "serious overhang" in AI-driven math discoveries.
