Chinese Researchers Achieve AI-Assisted Mathematical Breakthrough With Domestic Model

Chinese scientists have used the ShuSheng-S2 multimodal model—a domestically developed large language model—to solve the three-dimensional Ghys conjecture, marking the first time a Chinese AI system has contributed to proving a world-class mathematical problem. The breakthrough, announced by the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory on October 15, 2026, addresses a 30-year-old open problem in dynamical systems proposed by French mathematician Étienne Ghys in 1995.
