Very impressed about #OpenAI o1 model! Tested it on our ongoing research on theory of #spacetimebeams. Amazed where it got in 2 interactions, really seems like PhD intelligence Can't believe how far this has got in <2y from the 1st release!

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics got me by surprise, a beautiful surprise that makes a lot of sense! Actually so surprising that not even neural networks could predict it for themselves!! chatgpt.com/share/67067949… 10 point to humans 🙂
