American AI startup developing a model called Gauss that can convert human-written mathematical proofs into lines of Lean code. Gauss successfully formalised proofs by Maryna Viazovska for higher-dimensional versions of the sphere-packing problem—for 8-dimensional and 24-dimensional spheres, respectively—within weeks. Even though both proofs had already been verified without AI, Gauss's work contributed to mathematicians' understanding of the tools in Viazovska's proofs.
I have a hobby. I have the world's largest collection of sea shells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen some of it.
