Google DeepMind's AI system, AlphaProof Nexus, has autonomously solved nine open Erdős problems, marking a significant achievement in the field of mathematics. These problems, known for their complexity, were solved using a combination of a large language model and Lean, a proof assistant, at a cost of a few hundred dollars per problem. This breakthrough comes shortly after OpenAI's announcement of solving a single Erdős problem, showcasing the competitive advancements in AI-driven mathematical research. The success of AlphaProof Nexus demonstrates the potential for AI to contribute to solving longstanding mathematical challenges.
