AlphaGeometry solved hard problems by brute force; brevity incentives might help
torchcompiled · x · 2026-10-26
Commenting on the AlphaGeometry paper, the author notes models could solve complex geometry problems but via brute-force multi-step search, whereas humans often find elegant insights. Encouraging brevity in model reasoning may help push toward human-like elegance.
