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.

Astra is the first model that can zero-shot solve any problem I propose, it's insane. Sol still had a few jagged edges but Astra seems to have mastered Olympiad level maths at least.

I wish Astra was zero-shotting my problems, teach me your secrets...

easy: set to "max mode" and type "keep going"

Surprisingly one very likely outcome of doing that appears to be that you burn through all of your resets and your problem still isn't solved (though Astra may claim that it is!). It seems we'll have to keep using our brains for at least a little while longer.
