When GPT Discovers Physics: A Breakthrough in Gluon Theory

What happens when you ask artificial intelligence to solve a problem that theoretical physicists have worked on for decades? In a new publication from a team at Princeton, Harvard, Cambridge, and OpenAI, GPT-5.2 Pro GPT-5.2 Pro The latest version of OpenAI’s language model, capable of advanced mathematical reasoning and formulating scientific hypotheses. was the first to propose a key formula describing gluon scattering — a formula that was then proven by another internal OpenAI model and verified by scientists by hand. ...
