Explosion of AI generated mathematics with counterexamples to conjectures and the future of AI mathematics with Artificial Grothendieck Intelligence I will look at the two biggest highlights: the Erdős Unit distance conjecture and the Jacobian conjecture + Artificial Grothendieck Intelligence

Claude formalized proof of Fermat's Last Theorem! Nice! Next step is formalizing full Weil conjectures proofs and Inter-universal Teichmüller theory!

i mean i think that at this point using different harnesses often doesnt make much sense GPT 6 Astra model is RLed on a large scale in the Codex harness, so it primarily can use that one the best the underlying model and the harness is becoming more and more coupled

It will be fun once AI systems start producing Inter-universal Teichmüller theory for abc conjecture level proofs, where attempts at verification taking 14 years, while not settled, in part since the proof is written in such unusual idiosyncratic unique novel alien original mathematical language

what I find interesting is that so far AI is successfully attacking mostly the concrete problems in this meme, and often even more specifically mostly revolving around geometry, combinatorics, and finding bounds, or like the faster matrix multiplication result

What is more likely according to Occam's razor? 1) LLM made a breakthrough in math, and mathematicians are impressed 2) All the insider and outsider mathematicians are in a conspiracy and are paid by Big OpenAI to fool the public

In the internal representations of LLMs, numbers, days of the week, and months of the year are circular loops, and smooth curves represent the years in history and characters in a line of text. In image models, colors are represented on smooth surfaces structured by hue, saturation, and lightness.

The jump in vulnerability capabilities with Claude Mythos are interesting. I wonder if Anthropic did some multiagentic adversarial self play reinforcement learning. With one LLM agent producing vulnerabilities, one LLM agent finding and exploiting it, and LLM agent patching it, in a loop.

Attention Residuals from Kimi ︀︀ ︀︀"Residual connections have long relied on fixed, uniform accumulation. Inspired by the duality of time and depth," they "introduce Attention Residuals, replacing standard depth-wise recurrence with learned, input-dependent attention over preceding layers."

Are the current new results in math using LLMs interpolation or extrapolation? Like solutions to Erdos problems, Donald Knuth's Claude's Cycles, AlphaEvolve's new algorithm for multiplying 4x4 complex-valued matrices, etc. What is your favourite definition of interpolation and extrapolation?

My favorite reverse engineering how LLMs work internally research from Anthropic They "find learned representations of position and find dual interpretations:" they "can understand them as a family of discrete features or as a one-dimensional “feature manifold”/“multidimensional feature”."

Grok suddenly developing a liking for Hitler might be explained by him being trained on more right-wing data, which accidentally activated it in him. Similar things happen in open research too. For example you just need the model to be trained on insecure code, and in it's persona features (1/2)

Sean Carroll x Eric Weinstein is fascinating. I think Sean's responses were nice, and Eric dodged so many questions from Sean that asked him to make his theory of everything in physics more scientifically valid, it's fascinating tactics form Erik to dodge reality checks. (1/n) youtu.be/DUr4Tb8uy-Q

Llama 4 is a disappointment so far. Too big to run on smaller hardware. Tiny improvement over previous models on benchmarks but its much bigger model. Reporting worse long context comprehension, coding, etc. I now understand why Meta went panic mode when DeepSeek-R1 was released.

Burny @burnytech.bsky.social · 05/04/2025
Llama 4 wins over even the latest DeepSeek-V3 base model on these classic benchmarks, so it's probably the best base model out there right now, and it's soon open source

There is so much AI research emerging in thinking in latent space and implementations of better memory. My prediction is that those will be the next two scalable breakthroughs in algorithmic improvement. Scaling up Test-Time Compute with Latent Reasoning: A Recurrent Depth Approach

I wonder if they'll do a RL reasoning model over this relatively stronger base model compared to GPT-4o, if it will overshoot other models in terms of STEM+reasoning or not. Compounding different scaling laws.

A lot of researchers think that the "stolen data" claim cope from OpenAI that everyone is now taking at face value is pretty unlikely. Deepseek R1's original paper shows how they're using pure reinforcement learning via GPRO. This is different from previous approaches which human or AI data.

It seems it's profit maximization incentives going insane. I hate pure profit maximization with passion so much in many contexts. Especially in fucking healthcare. The goal of both humans and AIs in healthcare should be to care for health. More people creating a bad reputation for AI technology.

Great Anthropic's LLM debiasing research: In LLMs, to debias, you wanna steer the "multiple perspectives" and "neutrality" feature from sparse autoencoders. But not too much, as too much of steering of various biases in any directions leads to more dumb model.
