Call for stories: human–AI collaboration in recent mathematical results

Tao’s blog hosts a call (guest post by Deanna Needell and Hayden Schaefer) for mathematicians whose work — prior results and ideas, checked and refined arguments, connections to the existing literature — helped make possible the recent results obtained with AI systems, to share how people and AI actually collaborate in practice.

Terrence Tao: "Math 2.0" — public lecture at Caltech

Terrence Tao has published the slides of his public lecture "Math 2.0" at Caltech: the historical "Math 1.0" state of mathematics, the present moment shaped by the overemphasis on automated solving of open problems by AI, and his vision of a future "Math 2.0" in which AI tools sustain both the mathematical community and the role of mathematical understanding in applying mathematics to the real world.

What mathematicians should know about the Lean Theorem Prover: questions of reliability and AI

In a guest post on Terrence Tao's blog, Thomas Hales explains how autoformalization, formalization of mathematics by AI, became a practical reality in 2026, and why Lean proofs should be trusted only after kernel verification and a human audit of statement fidelity.

AHM Statement on OpenAI's October 6 Release of Mathematical Documents

The Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) issued a statement in response to OpenAI's October 6 release of a repository of manuscripts purporting to solve a number of high-profile problems. The statement rejects OpenAI's claim that the release advances mathematics and urges mathematicians to discontinue work with OpenAI and return to a vision of science centered on human understanding.

Hexagon: a new community repository for AI-assisted mathematical research

In a guest post on Terrence Tao's blog, Ben Antieau announces Hexagon, a new community repository for research in the mathematical sciences and theoretical computer science, aimed at results produced with LLM assistance. It offers citable, long-term storage with a lower submission barrier than the arXiv, including works generated entirely by LLMs. The project is backed by the newly created Hexagon Mathematics Foundation.

AIM: an invitation to explore mathematics together

In a guest post on Terrence Tao's blog, Matthew Colbrook presents AIM, an initiative to create a community-led opportunity for mathematical exploration. The team has compiled a list of open problems in applied mathematics with precise statements, motivation, and references, and invites mathematicians to share problems, solutions, and explanations, with or without AI.
