Astra solves 49 of 50 unpublished research-level physics problems
GPT-6 Astra solved 49 of 50 unpublished research-level physics problems with tools and web access for under $3 each, with some grader solutions found wrong.
physics is the next field where we’re going to see some absolutely ridiculous breakthroughs from ai. gpt-6 astra solved 49 out of 50 unpublished research-level physics problems, and in several cases, the physicists evaluating it initially thought the model was wrong. turns out there were errors in their own solutions. we’re talking about problems spanning quantum field theory, gravitation, cosmology, particle physics and statistical mechanics. the kind of difficult calculations that can take even brilliant physicists hours or days to work through. and astra managed to solve 98% of them using tools and web access, for less than $3 per problem on average. the amount of scientific work we could eventually automate is fucking staggering.
