OpenAI's GPT-6 'Astra' Reportedly Solved 49 of 50 Unpublished Physics Problems — and Caught Experts' Mistakes
A viral claim says the model hit 98% accuracy on unpublished theoretical physics research problems at under $3 each, in some cases correcting errors made by the human physicists who wrote them.
The most-shared AI claim of the day came from @Dr_Singularity, who reported that OpenAI's GPT-6 model, codenamed Astra, autonomously solved 49 of 50 unpublished theoretical physics research problems — a 98% success rate — at a cost of under $3 per problem. The post drew more than 2,000 likes and 250 reposts, putting it well ahead of anything else in the day's research by raw engagement.
