FAR system aims to exponentiate mathematical discovery via dynamic compute allocation
wellecks · x · 2026-08-19
The post outlines a long-term vision for AI-assisted mathematical discovery: as models improve, previously intractable problems become solvable, requiring dynamic allocation of reasoning compute and expert attention.
The envisioned system would recover promising questions from literature, formulate new ones, probe tractability, and surface results for expert review. FAR (Formal Abstract Reasoner) is presented as an early experiment towards this goal of exponentiating mathematical discovery.
