LLMs excel at finding mathematical examples and counterexamples

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated a notable capability in proving mathematical results, particularly those that serve as examples or counterexamples to existing conjectures. While LLMs can also prove universal statements, their strongest contributions have primarily been in the realm of existence proofs. This suggests that LLMs excel at a specific type of mathematical problem-solving, which coincidentally makes them adept at finding non-trivial examples. AI

IMPACT LLMs show a particular strength in generating mathematical examples and counterexamples, potentially aiding mathematicians in exploring conjectures and disproving theorems.
