Image created with gemini-2.5-flash-image with claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929. Image prompt: A modern laboratory workbench with two glowing Erlenmeyer flasks (one deep blue, one rich red) releasing colorful vapor ribbons that twist into double helices, surrounded by test-tube-shaped birthday candles casting sharp shadows. Behind them, a slate-grey chalkboard displays ‘104’ in tally marks arranged like a periodic table, all lit with crisp high-contrast lighting that feels both scientific and celebratory.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that gpt5 can solve MINOR open math problems, those that would require a day/few days of a good PhD student. Ofc it’s not a 100% guarantee, eg below gpt5 solves 3/5 optimization conjectures. Imo full impact of this has yet to be internalized… https://x.com/SebastienBubeck/status/1970875019803910478

VraserX e/acc on X: “GPT-5 just passed what researchers call the “Gödel Test.” That means it’s not just solving textbook problems, it’s tackling open math conjectures that would normally take a skilled PhD student days to crack. In a new paper, GPT-5 was tested on 5 unsolved optimization https://t.co/4lGYKLrdrD” / X

AI isn’t replacing radiologists”” good article Expectation: rapid progress in image recognition AI will delete radiology jobs (e.g. as famously predicted by Geoff Hinton now almost a decade ago).

AI has officially beaten me at the ICPC World Finals. It reminds me of a rare ICPC skill: being able to quickly read a teammate’s code and spot bugs. This skill takes years to train, and explains why AI often makes coding slower (see arXiv:2507.09089). No matter how strong AI”” / X https://x.com/ZeyuanAllenZhu/status/1968568919482089764

EngDesign: Benchmarking LLMs toward Engineering AGI • 101 tasks across 9 domains (OS, circuits, robotics, etc.) • Simulation-based eval (SPICE, FEA, etc.), not just Q&A • Iterative refinement boosts pass rate (o3 → ~60%) • Error analysis: 111 failure modes identified https://x.com/arankomatsuzaki/status/1970326076271513805

Knowledge graph agents might not be ready for prime time, but they are promising. This paper introduces ARK-V1, a lightweight agent that helps LLMs answer questions by actively walking through a knowledge graph instead of relying only on memorized text.

I love how the FDA statement on Tylenol looks like the top was written by RFK Jr and the bottom was written by very annoyed scientists overruling him Top: Tylenol associated with increased risk of autism and ADHD Bottom: By the way, the quality of evidence for this guidance is https://x.com/DKThomp/status/1970294473436323936

I’d argue the presence of AI text (which may just be AI-edited) in scientific papers is one way AI accelerates science Many academics are not good writers & find writing hard. No one would complain about them using human help, as long as the authors were responsible for accuracy https://x.com/emollick/status/1969094729578000832

This breakthrough represents a new way of doing mathematical research – combining deep insights with cutting-edge AI. We’re excited for this work to help usher in a new era where long-standing challenges are tackled with computer-assisted proofs. → https://x.com/GoogleDeepMind/status/1968691989966119033

We used a new AI-powered method to discover new families of unstable “singularities” across three different fluid equations. A clear and unexpected pattern emerged: as the solutions become more unstable, one of the key properties falls very close to a straight line.

This makes me think about @joshgans’ paper arguing that having authors sneak prompt injections into academic work IMPROVES science in a world of AI. Without the risk, reviewers would tend to rely heavily on AI reviews, with injections, they need to include some human review. https://x.com/emollick/status/1968526173442318618
