Abstract
We introduce the AI co-mathematician, a workbench for mathematicians to interactively leverage AI agents to pursue open-ended research. The AI co-mathematician is optimized to provide holistic support for the exploratory and iterative reality of mathematical workflows, including ideation, literature search, computational exploration, theorem proving and theory building. By providing an asynchronous, stateful workspace that manages uncertainty, refines user intent, tracks failed hypotheses, and outputs native mathematical artifacts, the system mirrors human collaborative workflows. In early tests, the AI co-mathematician helped researchers solve open problems, identify new research directions, and uncover overlooked literature references. Besides demonstrating a highly interactive paradigm for AI-assisted mathematical discovery, the AI co-mathematician also achieves state of the art results on hard problem-solving benchmarks, including scoring 48% on FrontierMath Tier 4, a new high score among all AI systems evaluated.

- Another AI mathematics paper out, about a new model from Google: arxiv.org/pdf/2605.06651 Hard to summarize, but not a hard read. Shortish version: it was independently evaluated, and did very well on [bsky, 68 points, 2 comments]
- This happened soon after Google's new AI Co-Mathematician topped the Tier-4 leaderboard with 47.9%. So I'm guessing that evaluation led to finding issues with those tasks. [bsky, 4 points, 1 comments]
