- The DecoderSelectedGoogle Deepmind's AlphaProof Nexus solved dozens of open math problems and actually got peer reviewed
Google Deepmind's AlphaProof Nexus solved dozens of open math problems, including nine Erdős problems two of which were unsolved for 56 years, per a study in Science. The publication comes as OpenAI faces a boycott for dumping AI proofs on GitHub without peer review. Deepmind had its results reviewed before publishing.
