"Last year, Google DeepMind made headlines for building an artificial-intelligence system that achieved a silver-medal standard on the problems from that year's International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO), a prestigious competition for young mathematicians held annually. It was the first time such a system had performed at a medal-worthy level in solving IMO challenges. Now, writing in Nature, Hubert et al. report the details of the core technology behind that achievement: a tool called AlphaProof, which is designed to prove mathematical statements."
"Mathematicians use computational tools to prove theorems. An AI model that is trained to use these tools might accelerate mathematical discovery.

AlphaProof is a tool designed to prove mathematical statements by integrating computational proof tools with AI. Google DeepMind developed an AI system that reached a silver-medal standard on International Mathematics Olympiad problems, marking the first instance of medal-worthy automated performance on those challenges. AlphaProof represents the core technology enabling that level of automated problem solving. Training AI models to interact with proof assistants and computational resources can streamline theorem-proving workflows, leverage large-scale computation and heuristics, and potentially accelerate discovery in mathematical research and education.
