“Mathematics is undergoing the biggest change in its history.” Glad to see our math agent #Aletheia featured by @newscientist on its results at the FirstProof inaugural challenge, alongside other interesting milestones in AI for Math research! Implications worth thinking about. Link in thread.

HAI Card for FirstProof: Transparent AI Knowledge Discovery Documentation
By
–
Again, we encourage the community in AI for knowledge discovery to transparently document their works. Below is our Human-AI Interaction (HAI) card for FirstProof. This concept was introduced in our #Aletheia paper, arxiv.org/abs/2602.10177, inspired by ML model card!

AI Breakthrough: Aletheia Solves Mathematical and Scientific Discovery Problems
By
–
For more information about Aletheia, powered by Gemini #DeepThink, and our works in AI for mathematical and scientific discovery at @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleResearch, check out our announcement last week nitter.net/lmthang/status/2021631…! Thang Luong (@lmthang) 6 months in, after the IMO-gold achievement, I’m very excited to share another important milestone: AI can help accelerate knowledge discovery in mathematics, physics, and computer science! We’re sharing Two new papers from @GoogleDeepMind and @GoogleResearch that explore how Gemini #DeepThink together with agentic workflows can empower mathematicians and scientists to tackle professional research problems. Some highlights: The first paper built a research agent #Aletheia, powered by an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think, that can autonomously produce publishable math research and crack open Erdős problems. The second paper, built on similar agentic reasoning ideas, helped resolve bottlenecks in 18 research problems, across algorithms, ML and combinatorial optimization, information theory and economics. See the thread for details about the two papers and the joint blog post. — https://nitter.net/lmthang/status/2021631397614731563#m

FirstProof Problem 7 Solution Confirmed by Original Mathematician

The correctness of our solution to FirstProof problem 7 is also confirmed by Jim Fowler, the mathematician who conjectured the question originally! See github.com/google-deepmind/s… for all our transcripts and solutions (both correct and incorrect ones!) as well as public discussion of P7 at icarm.zulipchat.com/#narrow/….

Aletheia AI Solves Open Math Problem P7 Successfully
By
–
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."

Aletheia solves 6 of 10 FirstProof problems using Gemini DeepThink
By
–
We ran two Aletheia versions (differing only by base model) powered by Gemini #DeepThink. Together, they solved 6/10 problems (2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10) per majority expert assessments. Full transparency on our FirstProof interpretation and experiments: arxiv.org/abs/2602.21201. Evaluation is extremely hard! Only a handful of experts can even understand these problems. As such, we have conducted our study very carefully! Crucially, our solutions were generated without any human intervention and submitted within the timeframe of the FirstProof challenge. The lead author of FirstProof confirmed that fact in the public Zulip discussion of our solutions icarm.zulipchat.com/#narrow/….

Aletheia Math Agent Solves Hard FirstProof Problems Autonomously
By
–
Thrilled to share: #Aletheia, our math research agent, just solved 6/10 notoriously hard FirstProof problems autonomously, the best result in the inaugural challenge! To me, this is even bigger than our historic IMO-gold achievement last year; these problems challenge even top mathematicians. We share our results transparently, see paper and full thoughts in the thread. 👇
