PSI reports an AI-generated proof of the Aaronson–Ambainis conjecture

PSI reported on November 6 that its research system, using a non-public Anthropic model, found a proof of the Aaronson–Ambainis conjecture that Lean accepted. The result concerns limits on quantum speedups and comes with formal artifacts for scrutiny; it is a research claim, not a peer-review verdict.
