Ex-Kaggle CTO: LLMs win math Olympiads but can't judge medical treatments
balazskegl · x · 2026-08-18
Balázs Kégl, former Kaggle CTO, notes that while LLMs can now win gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad, they still cannot determine if a medical treatment works. He joined Doctolib because healthcare holds the data to solve this problem. He points out that LLM-based discovery has produced verified results in combinatorics (FunSearch, AlphaEvolve), algorithm design, and coding agents.
