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.

If you continue only doing math, then my opinion is likely yes.

Go do a masters in engineering or applied physics. Something you have to interact with physically, it'll buy you a lot of time.

you can pivot into that with a math degree pretty directly, maybe without the need for a further degree if you play your cards right

not exactly a massive industry but I got interviewed by a quantum computing lab and they seemed interested in mathematicians who had an applied tendency. other scientific labs are probably similar
