Researchers have developed an open-world multi-agent environment called 'The Station' where AI agents collaborate to make autonomous mathematical discoveries. These agents, from various model families, independently choose research directions, conduct experiments, and build a shared scientific literature without central coordination. In tests across 12 construction problems and two case studies, the agents achieved novel results on five problems, including new infinite families for Kakeya sets and Book Ramsey numbers, as well as improved bounds for Erdős's minimum-overlap problem. The discoveries included not only numerical constructions but also theorems and analyses, enhancing interpretability for human mathematicians. All raw agent dialogues, proofs, and verification code have been released for transparency. AI
