arXiv:2606. 18119v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To assess the ability of current AI systems to correctly solve research-level mathematics problems, we tested several AI systems on a set of ten problems in a broad range of mathematical fields; these problems arose naturally in the research process of the contributors.

Cogentic is a multi‑agent system designed to automate proof discovery for open research problems. It uses an iterative prove‑verify loop where an orchestrator assigns independent provers to different proof directions, verifies their outputs with specialized components, and records confirmed intermediate results in a persistent ledger for future rounds. Built on Gemini, Cogentic has produced novel results on five open problems in online learning, auction theory, and mechanism design, each verified by domain experts and detailed in companion papers.

The paper introduces a new human‑AI collaboration paradigm for mathematical discovery, shifting from selecting individual problems to exploring broad research directions. It presents the Find, Attempt, and Recommend (FAR) pipeline, which automatically searches a literature corpus, filters candidate conjectures, and surfaces promising resolutions for expert review. In a combinatorics pilot, FAR processed over 5,000 papers, identified thousands of open conjectures, and ultimately highlighted 77 items that led to new discoveries.

OpenAI shares new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, including advances in geometry, cryptography, and complexity.
arXiv:2603. 08322v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study mathematical discovery through the lens of neurosymbolic reasoning, where an AI agent powered by a large language model (LLM), coupled with symbolic computation tools, and human strategic direction, jointly produced a new result in combinatorial design theory.
