Elon Musk claimed Grok 4.5 solved a longstanding conjecture in mathematics. The achievement involved constructing an explicit counterexample to hypercontractivity for the Poisson semigroup on the 4-sphere, sharpening earlier dimension bounds — this is a result in analysis and functional inequalities, not graph theory as initially characterized. The result is still awaiting independent peer verification. The specific technical details of what conjecture was addressed and how old it actually is remain unclear from available sources.
