Two research teams independently solved the same open quantum cryptography problem using OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra, submitting their papers just three hours apart. "If someone mentions an open problem, the first thing is to see if GPT solves it," says one of the researchers. The case raises a question: what does "independent discovery" mean when everyone uses the same models?
