wandedob · x · 2026-08-01

Microsoft core researcher Sébastien Bubeck teased Astra, Microsoft's next major model, which has achieved wide-ranging and beautiful new results in mathematical proofs. Astra will release 10 mathematical proofs, each accompanied by Lean certificates and chain-of-thought walkthroughs. The results span multiple fields, including disproving Connes' Rigidity Conjecture and achieving better bounds for high-dimensional sphere packing and circuit complexity.
