AI solves novel math problems and conjectures

+++ AI just cracked 53 previously intractable mathematical problems, including some gathering dust for decades. Turns out brute-force pattern matching works on proofs too. +++

AI has just solved not one, but nine novel math problems, and proved 44 new conjectures. Some of these problems had been unsolved for 50 years.

LLMs as Noisy Channels: A Shannon Perspective on Model Capacity and Scaling Laws

"Existing scaling laws for Large Language Models (LLMs), predominantly monotonic power laws, fail to explain emerging non-monotonic phenomena such as catastrophic overtraining and quantization-induced degradation, where performance deteriorates despite increased compute. We propose the Shannon Scal..."

From Model Scaling to System Scaling: Scaling the Harness in Agentic AI

Retrying vs Resampling in AI Control

"AI coding scaffolds like Claude Code and Codex use \textit{retrying}: blocking actions flagged as risky and continuing the trajectory. We study retrying from an AI control perspective, which treats the model as potentially adversarial. We find that while retrying reduces honest suspicion scores, the..."
