23 Oct 2026, 11:19 PM	Latent Space	6.3	AI Is Getting Good at Math. Here’s Why. Ankit Maloo's Latent Space essay tracks a run of AI math results: an OpenAI internal model found a counterexample to Erdős's unit distance conjecture open since 1946, OpenAI then published a Cycle Double Cover proof and solutions to ten more open problems by July plus a Navier-Stokes proof in September, and Anthropic published a formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem and advanced bounds on the Riemann Hypothesis. The essay's core model is that problem difficulty maps to the shortest sequence of expert hints needed to reconstruct a solution, with work between each insight. Why: For agent builders, the useful test is not whether an LLM can solve a task in one shot but how many checkable intermediate insights the task needs; if the hint-sequence model holds, decompose work into expert-level checkpoints and require verification between them before delegating more to the model. ai-math llm-reasoning problem-solving ai-research
