This document includes the problems, our methodology, and the results of our testing. We provide links to supplementary documents including the human solutions, the AI-generated solutions, and the referee reports and logs for the AI-generated solutions. The ten problems were contr
The rapid advancements in AI capabilities, particularly in large language models, are increasingly pushing their deployment into complex, abstract domains like research mathematics.
The ability of AI to solve research-level mathematics problems could fundamentally alter scientific discovery, intellectual property generation, and the perceived cognitive superiority of human intellect.
The assessment of AI systems on 'research-level' mathematics problems suggests a new benchmark for AI capabilities, moving beyond established tests to address novel, complex challenges.

AI systems demonstrate early, albeit imperfect, capabilities in solving highly complex mathematical problems.
This performance will accelerate investment and research into AI-driven scientific discovery tools and automated theorem proving.
The potential for AI to autonomously generate novel mathematical proofs could redefine the roles of human mathematicians and the pace of scientific advancement.
