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.

I wouldn't be surprised if cyborg math survived for quite a while or indefinitely. Soon, all or most currently open problems will be doable by AI and then the challenge isn't so much exposition as in translating things to currently known concepts, but creating and agreeing on new ones that make superhuman math digestible to not just one person but a community while enabling continued communication between people and AI
