🔥 A 23-Year-Old Solved a 60-Year Math Problem with ChatGPT

A 23-year-old amateur mathematician solved a 60-year-old unsolved math problem with help from ChatGPT.
It was a combinatorics problem posed by Erdos in the 1960s. He worked with ChatGPT 5.4 Pro and completed the proof in just 1 hour and 20 minutes.
What's remarkable is the approach. Instead of the standard methods that mathematicians had been repeating for decades, ChatGPT suggested a completely different path that nobody had tried before, and it turned out to be correct. Fields Medal winner Terence Tao reviewed the proof and confirmed it was valid.
What makes this significant is that AI has gone beyond being a calculator to becoming a research partner. Experts spent 60 years trying the same approaches, while AI found a different path without any preconceptions. This isn't just about math. In science, engineering, and medicine, AI is opening an era where it can suggest approaches that humans have overlooked.

📌 Three Things Today

1️⃣ How to Keep the Same Character in AI Videos

AI video creator aimikoda shared a character reference sheet prompt. Create a sheet with ChatGPT Images 2.0 that maps out a character's expressions, angles, outfits, and body type on a single page, then feed it into Seedance 2.0 to maintain the same character throughout your video.
Every clip in the video above was generated from one reference sheet image and the same Seedance prompt. You can use ChatGPT Images 2.0 and Seedance 2.0 back-to-back on Carat.

2️⃣ OpenAI Rewrites Its Microsoft Partnership

OpenAI and Microsoft have significantly revised their partnership terms.
Three key changes. First, OpenAI is no longer exclusive to Azure and can serve from other clouds. Second, the revenue share that Microsoft received from OpenAI is being phased out. Third, Microsoft's license to OpenAI's technology shifts from exclusive to non-exclusive. In return, Microsoft remains a major shareholder in OpenAI.

3️⃣ Google Splits Its AI Chip in Two for the First Time

Google announced the new TPU v8 AI chip at Cloud Next 2026.
After 10 years of using one chip for everything, they've split it into a 'training chip' (TPU 8t) and a 'serving chip' (TPU 8i). The training chip is 2.8x faster; the serving chip is 8x faster. Training AI and running AI are fundamentally different tasks. This could make AI services faster and cheaper.

🧪 Prompt Tip of the Day

A prompt shared by AI creator LinusEkenstam. Upload a photo of your palm and ChatGPT Images 2.0 draws lines directly on it and creates an analysis diagram.
Copy the prompt below and paste it into Carat's ChatGPT Images 2.0 along with a photo of your palm.
Analyze the palm in this photo.

Draw directly on the image.

Label the major lines — heart line, head line, life line, fate line — using thin colored overlays that follow the actual creases.

Add small numbered markers at key points of interest.

Below or beside the hand, include a short visual legend with a personality + life reading summary based on the lines.

Keep everything clean and readable, like an infographic diagram.

Make it feel like a professional palm reading chart.
Show it to your friends and watch their reactions. Try it yourself!
That's all for today. See you tomorrow with more updates. ☺️
