AI models show high accuracy in number theory tasks, verifying conjectures

A new research paper explores the application of AI in number theory, evaluating the Qwen2.5-Math-7B-Instruct large language model on algorithmic and computational tasks. The model demonstrated high accuracy, achieving at least 0.95 on a benchmark of thirty algorithmic problems and thirty computational questions when provided with optimal hints. Additionally, the paper used a LightGBM classifier to empirically verify a conjecture about Dirichlet characters, predicting the modulus with over 93.9% accuracy based on statistical features of their initial zeros.
