Chinese AI Solves Decade-Old Math Problem in 80 Hours
The team’s 19,000-line Lean 4 proof was developed with AI agents and community tools, showing automated systems can tackle open research problems.
- A Chinese AI framework independently solved a decade-old mathematical problem posed by Dan Anderson within 80 hours without human intervention.
- The dual-agent system uses one AI for natural language reasoning and another for formal proof verification, automating key stages of mathematical research.
- This AI approach bridges human-like reasoning with machine proof validation, completing the formalisation almost without human help.
- Researchers say this achievement shows how AI can substantially automate mathematical research by relieving humans of repetitive tasks while ensuring proof accuracy.

The AI Revolution in Math Has Arrived
The tipping point came in the summer of 2025. That July, several artificial intelligence models solved five out of six problems at the International Mathematical Olympiad, an annual challenge for some of the world’s best high school students. But while mathematicians were shocked — few had expected the programs to get that good that quickly — the impressive results didn’t necessarily mean that AI… Source
