Can AI invent new math? A new paper from DeepMind and renowned mathematician Terence Tao shows how. Using AlphaEvolve, the team merges LLM-generated ideas with automated evaluation to propose, test, and refine mathematical algorithms. In tests on 67 problems across analysis, geometry, and number theory, AlphaEvolve not only rediscovered known results but often improved upon them—even generalizing finite cases into universal formulas. Paired with DeepThink and AlphaProof, it points toward a future where AI doesn’t just assist mathematicians—it collaborates with them in discovery.
