Google DeepMind has achieved significant milestones in applying artificial intelligence to complex mathematical and computational problems. Initially, the development of the AlphaProof Nexus system demonstrated the ability to solve long-standing mathematical research problems, including two Erdős problems that had remained unsolved for 56 years. This system utilizes a formal verification process with the Lean language to ensure logical accuracy through self-correction.

Subsequent research expanded these capabilities into the analysis of Turing machines. In collaboration with the University of Cambridge, a Gemini-based AI agent identified mathematical acceleration rules for 11 previously unanalyzed six-state Turing machines, provisionally named ‘Cryptids’. These findings were also supported by formal proofs generated via the Lean 4 theorem prover. Additionally, researchers demonstrated the efficacy of simulated AI prompt auctions, which showed the potential to preserve 99.2% of modeled welfare when routing requests among competing models.
