Should be a top 20 math problem of its math subfield, so nothing crazy but a couple people care a fair bit about it.

I am just starting a project to see how doable this is at scale, may drop it if it doesn’t go anywhere. Tips welcome.

By ‘solve’ I mean AI is very confident that the solution is correct. A mathematician needn’t sign off on it. If you think my AI ends up wrong about a solution I’d be happy to bet on it.

Don't have any tips, but best of luck on tackling the problem. Which problem is it if I might ask?

@astroblob i’ll try a little bit of hundreds of problems my take is this maximizes compute efficiency

over trying a bunch on a single one or a couple ones
