    Demis: Solving Erdos problems are far from true invention

    Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, stated that solving mathematical problems like those posed by Paul Erdős does not equate to true invention. He believes that genuine invention involves creating novel concepts and technologies, rather than just finding solutions within existing frameworks. Hassabis emphasized that while mathematical prowess is valuable, it's distinct from the kind of groundbreaking innovation that drives technological progress. AI

    Checking the math behind OpenAI and Anthropic’s latest headlines

    OpenAI announced that a new, unreleased reasoning model helped solve an 80-year-old mathematical conjecture. The model, which utilizes chain-of-thought reasoning, systematically explored paths that human mathematicians had overlooked. While impressive, some experts caution that this achievement may be more of a marketing demonstration for OpenAI's new model rather than a significant advancement in AI-assisted mathematics, suggesting that smaller, more specialized models combined with existing tools might be the future.
