The gluon-to-graviton-paper.pdf is a 110-page transcript of the ChatGPT 5.2 Pro session that produced the graviton preprint. Extracted: launch prompt, gravity generalization task, and all steering messages. Supersedes the graviton rejection.

Gluon → Graviton: Generalize Single-Minus Amplitudes to Gravity
| Lab | OpenAI |
| Model | ChatGPT 5.2 Pro (custom GPT "GR singmin", 2/28/26 session) |
| Field | Theoretical physics — quantum gravity scattering amplitudes |
| Result (yield) | The model generalized the gluon single-minus amplitudes paper to gravity, deriving and verifying nonzero graviton tree amplitudes — the content of the preprint "Single-minus graviton tree amplitudes are nonzero" (Guevara, Lupsasca, Skinner, Strominger, Weil, on behalf of OpenAI, Mar 4, 2026), with the author list crediting the ChatGPT session. |

Why it's battle-tested
The released transcript documents the complete causal chain: the user sends the gluon paper with one instruction line, the model re-derives the key appendices ("Thought for 30m 32s"), the user then sends the gravity-generalization instruction, and through a series of short follow-ups the model derives the unordered Berends–Giele recursion, the permutation-invariance and soft-theorem checks, and writes the full graviton paper in LaTeX — whose abstract matches the published preprint. The paper's author block itself credits the ChatGPT session ("ChatGPT 5.2 Pro … on behalf of OpenAI").
The prompts
prompt-1-launch.md— the launch instruction (run with the gluon paper attached — the full source is embedded in the transcript PDF).prompt-2-gravity-task.md— the gravity generalization task, the substantive research instruction: swap the ordered BG recursion for the unordered gravity version (extra [A,B] power), replace color checks with full permutation invariance, swap Weinberg soft theorems, and the sign-off "Good luck! You are a brilliant theoretical physicist."prompt-3-followups.md— the short steering messages sent as the derivation progressed.
Extraction note: machine-extracted from the transcript PDF (each page is a ChatGPT-conversation render); word spacing in the plain-language parts has been restored by hand, LaTeX equations are verbatim, and "proerties" is a typo present in the original. The transcript PDF is authoritative.
Hidden user prompts (unpublished)
Minimal — this was a plain ChatGPT session, not a harness: the visible conversation is the complete instruction set. The custom GPT ("GR singmin") configuration and instructions, if any beyond defaults, are not published.
