Intern-S2 credited in math paper as post-trained Qwen 3.5-397B, sparking AI-for-math debate

A math paper's "Declaration of AI Use" reveals the author used an internal version of Intern-S2 through multiple rounds of dialogue to help develop the mathematical ideas, thanking Shanghai AI Lab (Bowen Zhou and the Intern team), while independently verifying all arguments. The core theorems were formalized in Lean by the Bin Dong–Ruochuan Liu team at Peking University using their open-source agent SHEAF.

teortaxesTex notes Intern-S2 is reportedly a post-trained Qwen 3.5-397B-A17B — likely a capable assistant LLM but nothing like OpenAI's end-to-end AI research, though valuable if it accelerates math.
