Today we're announcing Gauss, our first autoformalization agent that just completed Terry Tao & Alex Kontorovich's Strong Prime Number Theorem project in 3 weeks—an effort that took human experts 18+ months of partial progress.
Fields Medallist Terence Tao and Alex Kontorovich set this formalization challenge in January 2024. After 18 months, they announced intermediate progress in July 2025 but were blocked by core difficulties in complex analysis. Gauss broke through these barriers autonomously.
We're entering a Golden Age where anyone can summon artificial mathematicians for research. As verified math becomes the training ground for AI, we're creating machine universalists that will transcend human limitations—the von Neumanns of the digital age. https://math.inc/vision
Mathematics is the universal language of computation. Agents trained on formal math will revolutionize verified software, protein design, chip optimization, and disease cures—all while providing scaffolding for aligned superintelligence. Solve math, solve everything.
Gauss is entering beta testing with select mathematicians. 🔗 Blog: https://math.inc/gauss 🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/math-inc/st... 🔗 Early access: https://math.inc/early-access
We are hiring a small team of extraordinarily aligned and capable researchers and engineers: https://math.inc/careers
Built with support from DARPA's expMath program and @morph_labs Trinity environments infrastructure.
@mathematics_inc Any comment? @aryehazan
@mathematics_inc train on test?
@mathematics_inc you can just incorporate math
@mathematics_inc Let me use this agent to find out what 1 + 1 really means
@mathematics_inc very interesting
@mathematics_inc This is really impressive
@mathematics_inc @GregHBurnham is there any way of estimating how quickly this result would have arrived without AI assistance? I'd be very interested in an analysis that got at the speed-up ratio here
@mathematics_inc Nice. Really excited to follow your project. https://x.com/mhartl/status/18...
@mathematics_inc excited to hear more about!
@mathematics_inc i hope this is real
@mathematics_inc you incorporated math???!!!
@mathematics_inc o'rly?
@mathematics_inc y'all hiring @leanprover newbies or nah
@mathematics_inc Cool
@mathematics_inc @grok what dat mean
@mathematics_inc Wow. Great name!! Gauss is still alive with his legacy. Auto proofing and formalizing things. What did this formalization entail? Is it in an specific programming language?
@mathematics_inc Oh really
@mathematics_inc Chat is this real???
@mathematics_inc hmm what
@mathematics_inc Proof of work? Just a tweet atm
@mathematics_inc Paper?
@mathematics_inc Nice
@mathematics_inc That looks really promising. I couldn't find any paper on the website about inner workings/peak at the agent. Could you redirect me somewhere?
