we're so damn cooked 😭 google's gemini 4 argon just did something actually crazy for fusion energy in 1967 a physicist named harold grad guessed that the magnetic fields inside twisty fusion reactors could never be solved exactly. people believed him for 59 years last month two papers finally proved him wrong. one of them used openai's GPT-6 Astra then google deepmind gave that paper to a team of argon agents and they found a whole new family of answers nobody had. the first answers showed up in a few hours. the paper literally says "promising candidates appeared within hours" NOT YEARS. HOURS!!!! the scientists checked every step by hand and it held up 59 years of humans vs a few hours of AI???? it's over. ai won.

We’ve found 2 new families of counterexamples to the long-standing (nearly 60-year-old) Grad’s conjecture in plasma physics using Gemini 4 Argon in our new paper, with Jonathan Citrin, Brendan Tracey, Matt Landreman at the University of Maryland: arxiv.org/abs/2610.07304!
