AI math event: main track judged by independent academics, with sponsor tracks from Cognition and Cloudflare
_sathvikr · x · 2026-09-05
An event promoting responsible AI use in mathematics revealed its structure: the main track challenges participants to solve and explain an open math problem, judged by a panel of independent academics with no sponsor involvement. Sponsors run their own pre-written tracks ranging from number-field-sieve-style algorithm improvements to superalignment, with tracks from Cognition, Safe Intelligent PBC, Cloudflare, dModel, HUD Evals, and Prime Intellect. The organizers pledge equity (need-based admission, travel covered), transparency (all AI chat logs recorded and open-sourced), and understanding (participants must present results).
