GPT-5 Pro’s 13% result on FrontierMath Tier 4 crossed Peter Diamandis’s 10% threshold for declaring that “math has been solved,” positioning mathematical capability as a canary for science, engineering, medicine, and encryption.AI-designed chips, falling inference costs, rapid multimodal adoption, and forecast systems suggest compounding capability is already deployed, but electricity, manufacturing, regulation, and physical-world edge cases remain the constraints to monitor.
