Mathematicians: Here are our hard questions that we would like to know the answers to.

AI: Here are answers to a few of them.

(Many) mathematicians: No, not like that!
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A wry tweet by economist Ben Golub about mathematicians' mixed reaction when AI actually starts answering their hard open questions.

could you just.... like.... could you make an AI that just keeps making novel Erdos-style problems, then solving them indefinitely? Like... how deep is the well of mathematics?

I hope AI can actually create more Erdos problems by 2028 x.com/sir_lemmings/s...

adversarial training, but it's just a pair of agents where 1 is creating Erdos problems & the other is solving them

Tweet from shako (@shakoistsLog) musing whether an AI could generate and solve novel Erdos-style math problems indefinitely, quote-tweeting rohit (@krishnanrohit) hoping AI creates more Erdos problems by 2028, with a reply from Shannon Sa... (@max_papercl...) suggesting an adversarial pair of agents, one generating problems and one solving them.

This feels like a real inflection point: The momentum toward AI that expand knowledge is impossible to ignore...moving beyond solving problems with known answers to settling long-open questions (with Lean certificates attached) across group theory, operator algebras, combinatorics, and complexity. Impressive, congrats @SebastienBubeck @OpenAI!

yes, nonsofic groups exist: this statement is one of many new beautiful results proved by Astra, our next major model.

We're releasing 10 such Astra proofs, complete ...

Tweet from Markus J. Buehler praising a claimed OpenAI result where their upcoming model 'Astra' resolved open mathematical questions (with Lean-verified proof certificates) across group theory, operator algebras, combinatorics, and complexity, quoting Sebastien Bubeck (OpenAI) announcing the release of 10 such Astra-proved results, including that nonsofic groups exist.
