> found a formula that humans couldn't

Couldn't is an immensely high bar in this context, didn't seems more appropriate and renders this whole thing slightly less exciting.

I'd say "couldn't in 20 hours" might be more defensible. Depends on how many humans though. "couldn't in 20 GPT watt-hours" would give us like 2,000 humans or so.

If only humans scaled like that

I think for something like this they might be pretty scalable actually - give 2000 grad students the problem and coffee and I bet they’d go massively parallel and self organize into useful sizes and build some knowledge sharing.
