AI scores 6-7 out of 10 on research-level math benchmark in First Proof project
By
Joseph Howlett
Summary
The "First Proof" project, organized by top mathematicians, released its first official results testing AI's mathematical abilities. Large language models scored roughly a 'C–' grade, getting 6-7 out of 10 research-level math problems correct. The project aims to evaluate AI's usefulness for actual mathematical research, moving beyond simpler benchmarks. Results show LLMs are emerging as useful but deeply flawed assistants for math research.

· 3 pulledThe verdict is that large language models (LLMs) are emerging as useful—albeit deeply flawed—assistants for math research.
The best model got six or seven of the 10 questions basically right
Organized by a team of top mathematicians, the 'First Proof' project is a response to AI companies' growing fixation on using advanced math as a benchmark for their products
