Lovely talk from Kevin Buzzard on where mathematics is today and where it's going. Interesting perspectives on where LLMs are useful, how recent IMO wins don't necessarily mean "AI has solved math", and new community efforts getting off the ground.

Predicting the future is hard! But building projections based on current trends is smart. That’s why Moore’s Law was so popular.
There’s a similar trend in AI Agents: their ability to successfully complete tasks is doubling. Learn what comes next.

I think this resonates. More powerful technology requires more thoughtful design. Are there other good archetypes in addition to Ben Franklin?

My insight of the day at #GTC25: we are likely to see “just in time code” soon. AI will write new programs to carry out the tasks you request. And it will write that code as you are making requests (compared to now where code is prewritten by an expert far removed from you).

There’s been a great amount of success with models that “think” to themselves in text. How much luck are people having with models that “talk” to themselves in audio, “imagine” to themselves in visual space, and “sniff” around in molecular space?
