I'm not sure if this is the exact same thing, but a load balancing paper reported a 4.2x speedup by applying a "snake pattern" in 2024:

Most probably the AI was secretly tested on this data and is just stealing the algorithm.
Thanks for letting us know! While we’re tackling different problems, the core idea around load balancing is quite similar.
The pattern might be a familiar trick to those experienced with this kind of problem — you can see my thoughts on it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45688236#45689440
It's okay to acknowledge that you missed something in your literature search. Everyone does. It's not okay to sweep it under the rug or pretend that it's novel after having having the prior work pointed out to you, especially when a central part of your thesis is that "AI" discovered a novel algorithm and it's very likely that this algorithm was part of the LLM's training data.
Seems the same tbh
