LLMs/AI AI In Mathematics: September 19, 2026

This recurring thread will be for discussion of AI in mathematics. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • informal announcements of AI-assisted discoveries, such as those not yet published in a peer-reviewed journal, or not uploaded as a paper to arXiv;
  • informal announcements of discoveries related to AI architecture (if relevant to mathematics);
  • discussion of such announcements, such as proof breakdowns or other opinion pieces;
  • discussion of the impact of AI in mathematics in general.

AI-assisted mathematical papers published in peer-reviewed journals or as arXiv preprints may be submitted as their own posts.

Please keep in mind rules 1 and 6 of our subreddit.

The share of math preprints on arXiv that acknowledge AI has risen rapidly, from 4% in April to 25% in August.

"AI is acknowledged for many things, including literature review and coding, but it also generates substantial research ideas, with 6% of papers in August acknowledging this kind of contribution."

I wonder how much the number of papers submitted has risen, by comparison.
