“I do see more and more mass-produced mathematics at scale.“ ~ Terry Tao
AI makes this scalable. Will turns proof-writing into search problem: it generates 1000s of mini-lemmas from a goal, then cheap checkers kill most and keep the few that works https://t.co/BHb5jdBpXy

Google DeepMind's new paper introduces AlphaProof Nexus, an AI system that combines an LLM with the Lean proof checker to search for formal proofs in constrained mathematical domains. The system solves several unsolved problems from the Erdős and OEIS sets, demonstrating a new division of labor where the AI proposes proof candidates and the verifier enforces correctness.
