The AI That Solved 80-Year-Old Math Problems Can Find Your Next Trade
Editor’s Note: Good evening – Mike Burnick here.
You’ve probably noticed that AI is all anyone can talk about. And honestly? The hype is warranted.
But here’s what most of that conversation misses.
The real story isn’t about which AI stocks to buy. It’s about what AI is actually doing – right now, in the real world – and how fast it’s moving.
And at TradeSmith, we didn’t just watch from the sidelines.
When our team saw where this technology was heading, they got work. The result is TradeSmithGPT – our own proprietary AI system built specifically to do one thing: find you better trades.
My colleague and TradeSmith CEO, Keith Kaplan is opening enrollment again for a short time – and he has a new AI trade alert coming soon.
Below, Keith walks you through what TradeSmithGPT is, what it’s already delivered, and how you can get access before the deadline.
Over to you, Keith…
“It’s quite a different world than in December of last year.”
That’s what Harvard math professor Melanie Matchett Wood said, two weeks ago, after AI solved a math problem that had stumped the world’s brightest minds for 80 years.
The problem was first posed by a Hungarian mathematician known as Paul Erdős in 1946. Scatter some dots on a page and ask how many pairs you can place exactly an inch apart.
The more dots you add, the more pairs you can squeeze in. Erdős believed he’d found the arrangement that produced the most pairs — and that no one would ever find one that produced more.
For eight decades, every mathematician who tried failed.
Then OpenAI’s experimental reasoning AI model was handed the question. After grinding through hundreds of pages of logic, it broke through the ceiling.
Scientific American reported that the proof would have merited publication in math’s top journal if a human had done it alone.
And the Erdős problem isn’t even an outlier.
Last summer, Google’s AI competed in the International Mathematical Olympiad, the most prestigious math contest in the world.
Roughly the top 8% of the elite young mathematicians who compete earn a gold medal. That year, Google’s AI was among them. It solved five of the six problems, in plain English, with no special tools – a feat researchers had been calling “decades away.”
And these breakthroughs aren’t just happening in the field of math.
In April, Science published a study on a real-world hospital test. Researchers fed real emergency room cases to OpenAI’s o1 model and to experienced physicians. The AI identified the correct diagnosis in 67% of cases. The doctors managed 50 to 55%.
This kind of leap has a name. Scientists call it a Cambrian Explosion – the moment when life on Earth suddenly diversified into thousands of new forms.
AI is about to trigger the same kind of explosion – only bigger, faster, and far more profitable. And as investors and traders, we need to be paying attention.
The Age of Super Genius Is Here
The world is about to be flooded with AI systems that are 100 times smarter than the best human analysts. They never sleep. They crunch numbers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
And markets are nothing but numbers: GDP changes, interest rates, company revenues, stock prices, options data.
It’s no accident that the most successful hedge fund in history – Jim Simons’ Medallion Fund – was run by mathematicians.
From 1988 to 2018, Medallion returned roughly 66% per year before fees. In 2008, the year the S&P 500 lost almost 39% of its value, Medallion was up 98%.
It was so profitable, Simons eventually returned all outside investor money and kept the fund for employees only.
How did he do it?
By building massive datasets – on stock prices, bond yields, currencies, options, commodities, and more – and using powerful computers to spot patterns hidden from the human eye.
And compared to what’s coming with super genius AI, even Medallion will look quaint.
The Next Leap – And How You Can Profit
Instead of trying to outsmart these new machines, we built one.
Here at TradeSmith, we created our own “super genius” number-crunching AI to help spot trade set ups in the market.
TradeSmithGPT – the AI trading system we launched last year – allows you to tap into the power of AI to boost your trading profits.
Like a 69% gain in four days as Estee Lauder (EL) plunged in late February 2025…
Or 148% in five days from the jump in CarMax (KMX) in April 2025 – amid the tariff turmoil, mind you.
Or 73% in six days as Mosaic (MOS) tumbled in April 2025, also during the height of the tariff chaos.
Of course, not every trade will be a winner – you should never invest more money than you can afford to lose.
But with its ability to process complex information and adapt to changing market conditions, TradeSmithGPT is becoming an indispensable tool for everyday investors.
The last time we opened our doors for folks to use this tool was in June 2025. That’s because we’ve kept access limited. But that changes now.
We’re opening up enrollments again for a short window – and we have a new AI trade alert ready to go out on Monday, June 1.
But act quickly. This opportunity expires Sunday, May 31, at midnight EST.
So go here now to see how you can get started with TradeSmithGPT.
I hope to see your name on the new intake list.
Sincerely,
Keith Kaplan
CEO, TradeSmith
