AI agent solves 9 open Erdős math problems using formal proofs

A new study on arXiv details an AI-powered formal proof-search system named Lean that has demonstrated significant progress in solving complex mathematical problems. This system autonomously proved 9 open Erdős problems and 44 OEIS conjectures, utilizing compiler-verified proofs for enhanced reliability over natural-language reasoning. AI
