Fields Medalist Tests ChatGPT 5.5 Pro: Paper-Level Result in 17 Minutes

菲尔兹奖得主亲测 ChatGPT 5.5 Pro：17 分钟出论文级成果，替学生拉响红色警报

Timothy Gowers tested ChatGPT 5.5 Pro and said it independently solved an open additive number theory problem in 17 minutes with only a simple prompt, producing PhD thesis-level work; he warned that this pace threatens mathematics research training, while Terence Tao said human value lies in digesting and deeply understanding proofs.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: a named mathematician, a 17-minute result, and a PhD-training warning. The exact problem, prompt, and verification path are not disclosed, keeping it below P1.
