Single-minus gluon tree amplitudes are nonzero (GPT-5.2)

OpenAI · 13 February 2026

GPT-5.2 proposed a formula for gluon scattering amplitudes that many physicists expected to vanish; an internal model proved it and the authors verified it.

Preprint by physicists from IAS, Vanderbilt, Cambridge, Harvard and OpenAI showing a "single-minus" gluon tree amplitude is nonzero under specific kinematics. OpenAI frames it as AI-proposed and AI-proved, with human verification. A follow-up on gravitons appeared 2026-03-04.
