OpenAI's result summary

Proves Khot's 2-to-1 Games Conjecture with perfect completeness: for every fixed rational δ∈(0,1), it is NP-hard to distinguish satisfiable games from games whose optimum is at most δ, on explicit unweighted instances. The alphabet depends only on δ, and every right-hand label has exactly two preimages under each constraint map.

Perfect completeness for 2-to-1 games

We prove the 2-to-1 Games Conjecture with perfect completeness. For every fixed rational δ∈(0,1), it is NP-hard to distinguish satisfiable 2-to-1 games from games of value at most δ, with a fixed alphabet and an explicitly listed unweighted multiset of constraints.

One signal in the wider AGI picture

New mathematical reasoning could help AI tackle harder scientific and computational problems. How reliably these skills transfer beyond mathematics will determine how much they contribute to general intelligence.
