OpenAI Model Independently Solves 80-Year-Old Erdős Conjecture↗

OpenAI's latest reasoning model autonomously resolved the unit distance problem, an Erdős conjecture that stumped mathematicians for 80 years, by deeply connecting discrete geometry and number theory via Golod-Shafarevich theory — all for under $1,000 in compute. Top mathematicians including Noga Alon and Tim Gowers have verified the result, calling it an AI math milestone.

Railway Reaches 3M Users, 100K Weekly Signups as Agent Platform↗

Railway CEO Jake Cooper revealed striking metrics: 3 million users, 100,000 new signups weekly, and over $200,000 in monthly spend from coding agents. Railway operates its own metal data centers to cut costs. Cooper argues the PR workflow is dying — agents pushing code directly is now the norm, and platform architecture must be redesigned accordingly.

Stable Audio 3 Enables Minute-Long Variable-Length Audio Generation↗

Stability AI's Stable Audio 3 family — available in small, medium, and large variants — uses a novel semantic-acoustic autoencoder latent diffusion architecture to generate minutes of variable-length audio and support localized inpainting-style editing. Developers benefit from not needing to generate full-length audio for short sound effects, significantly lowering integration costs for audio applications.
