AI Helped Tighten the Bounds on a 70-Year-Old Mathematical Problem. Humans Had to See the Theorem Hidden in Failure.
A reasoning model and coding agent helped narrow the Grothendieck constant enough to fix its previously unknown tenths digit. The documented research run also showed why producing mathematics, choosing the right research direction and validating a result remain different jobs.
