Citing a perspective that AI crossed a "turning point" around April/May 2026, roughly reaching the 90th percentile of research mathematicians.
The source further suggests that the main factor preventing AI from matching "any mathematician" isn't a lack of capability, but rather whether big tech companies are willing to systematically integrate formal methods into RL loops. They even predict that by mid-next year at the latest, AI will achieve superhuman mathematical proficiency.
