alt Hacker News> a team of agents completed the proof in a little under two weeks, consuming about six billion output tokens from a general-purpose internal research model roughly comparable to Claude Fable 5.1.
At $50/M output tokens, this would have cost on the order of $300k (plus a bit for input/prefill tokens) at API rates.

But also achievable on a $150/mo (CAD) Max 5 subscription (I currently have 11.6B tokens in the last 30 days) according to /usage. It doesn’t break down input vs. output tokens as far as I can tell.

What would it cost to make a team of mathematicians do the same?

And human salaries for those who worked on the prover harness etc. which isn't just standard Fable.
It also uses Prove2Me, which uses a graph like previous automated theorem provers. A fact that LLM hawks have categorically denied here before, with opposition naturally flagged.
Now they have it in writing.
