Curious to see when a post from OpenAI will appear with the corrected theory or something. This seems to be an ideal scenario for them to go after another scientific case. They have the theory, they have the experimental proof that it’s wrong, exactly what you need for an agentic loop to do its work.
Or maybe what works in math doesn’t work with chemistry?
>[theorists disagree] that the discrepancy is as significant as it appears.
It was predicted by decade old "theory" (with a single equation,and it seems that the original paper has no equations at all)
so OAI/DeepMind can quietly check if it's in the training or if they can extrapolate, yes
