OpenAI's GPT-next model disproved the 80-year-old Erdős planar unit distance problem, a long-standing conjecture in mathematics, for under $1,000. The computation consumed 0.6–6.3 kWh of electricity and 3–31 liters of water.
- Erdős problem originated in 1946 as a conjecture about planar unit distance graphs
- GPT-next model used to disprove the problem; cost under $1,000 to solve
- Resource use: 0.6–6.3 kWh electricity, equivalent to 2–20 miles of EV driving
- Water consumption: 3–31 liters, roughly equivalent to less than 3 almonds' worth
