This is a remarkable milestone in which our agent can work on a research problem for a very long time, then come back and tell us if it has succeeded or failed! We visualize the inference cost Aletheia decided to spend on each candidate solution (as a multiple of the inference cost of for solving Erdős-1051, see our previous work nitter.net/lmthang/status/2018354…). P7 is extremely interesting. It has been an open problem for several years, and nobody else came close to solving it in the FirstProof contest per @tonylfeng. We initially thought Aletheia had no chance; turned out it was right! Aletheia spent most compute on P7, 16x amount we used for Erdős-1051. Remarkably, per @kimshmath, "This was the first case that I have ever seen that an AI applies several deep mathematical results (by Cartan/Leray/Borel/Atiyah/Quillen/Novikov/Kasparov…) flawlessly. It is a very unique instance."
