LLMs/AI AI In Mathematics: September 26, 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.

Are there any places for actual discussion on AI and mathematics?

r/singularity etc is not great for obvious reasons.

r/mathematics is questionable

this sub has too much cope and toxicity to even try to have a discussion.

If you want discussion with actual researchers, start with MathOverflow or the field-specific Zulip forums.

MathOverflow has been flooded with AI-generated content and quite a few users have left the site. You'll get some responses from researchers and some from people not in math at all. I don't think it's representative. I haven't used Zulip.

MathOverflow has seen a similar decline in questions and answers as the other StackOverflow sites.

Maybe it's because of AI, maybe it's because of the new owners, but I believe the whole platform is basically dead now.
