What it changes
Erdős problem #342 belongs to number theory. If this partial result held, it would move the problem forward without settling all of it. The wiki credits it to a collaboration between a human and AI systems, with significant human involvement.
What remains unclear
The sources read do not say what the partial result covers or how the work was shared between the human and the AI systems. No third-party check is on record.

this status is an unofficial crowdsourced classification of the problem
Method
Source: the “AI contributions to Erdős problems” wiki of the teorth/erdosproblems repository (a repository presented by Terence Tao in his blog post of August 31, 2025); frozen on June 30, 2026 (commit c8ad430, “freeze”) and read on October 12, 2026 in the git repository. Category 1(d), “AI collaborating with humans” (significant human involvement). Humans named by the wiki: Przemek Chojecki; AI systems: GPT-5.2 Pro, GPT-5.4 Pro. Dates given by the wiki: “20 Jan-23 Mar, 2026”. Exact text: “Partial result”; yellow flag (“partial progress”, according to the wiki's legend). Literature cited by the wiki: none. Status of the problem in the teorth/erdosproblems community database (data/problems.yaml, unofficial classification, snapshot of October 12, 2026 with no commit identified, current state, not that of June 2026): open (informal_status=open); no formalised solution known (formal_status=unformalized). This status concerns the problem, not this contribution. Problem page not read by DiscoverIA: https://www.erdosproblems.com/342. DiscoverIA status: not evaluated (only the wiki's classification exists). Recorded on October 12, 2026.
