Fields Medalist Villani dismissed LLMs as unintelligent as recently as June 2026. But Navier Stokes result has him in shock.

"Cataclysm" for human mathematics

A text prediction machine cannot get smarter. It can just get better as in more precise. It's just not smart.
Yes it can help to find patterns in a huge chunk of data.
No it cannot come up with some new brilliant idea. That's just impossible. The idea has to be fed in by a human.
>>
>>109857919
A pattern recognition machine can find patterns that humans struggle to see, whether it's because of the abundance or complexity of the data. So yes it can find new ideas. Calling it a text prediction machine is pointlessly reductive and reveals that you're too emotional about the subject to think clearly about it.

The complexity of what? The tasks we give them to do? Yeah, maybe. Otherwise you can have 27B or even smaller models running on laptops that can beat the best models from 2 years ago.

No, it can't. A LLM models the distribution of human data it was trained, which gives you an objective metric for novelty: novelty is what doesn't fit in with that distribution.

If a LLM could produce novelty, you could train it on its own slop and expect progress. Instead, you get model collapse. If humanity couldn't produce novelty, a LLM trained on all human texts produced before the 20th century would be roughly the same as a model trained on all human texts produced so far, which would be roughly the same as one trained on all that plus every human text produced in the next millennium etc.

Simple as that.

>>109857727
There is no formula. What was "discovered" (stolen) is that there is no closed form solution because NS sucks. Everyone already knew that since day 1 and algorithms to work around it have been standard since the first days of NS use in practice.

>Are they not using transformers anymore?
If you understood what transformers are capable of you wouldn't be asking such a dumb question.
This was already predictable 2 years ago:

By the way, it appears ARC-AGI 4 will be all about testing inventivity, so I look forward to seeing what fresh copes you can come up with next year:

Not new ideas, mish-mash of unrelated ideas into unrelated contexts. For example, 1+1=3 is not a new idea, it is the old idea "3" with the old idea "1+1" and the old idea "=" all mashed together.

Lol what are you talking about?

They had been working on a novel approach for over a year, SOME of that work involved using codex, they did not simply ask an AI to do the work for them and suddenly they were handed an answer.

The work they inputed to codex (their own work, not AI done work) was then scraped by Open AI and used to specifically train a highly advanced experimental model with their novel approach to the navier stokes problem. If openAI had not scraped their previous work it would've taken their model 10000x or 1000000x longer since it would've started from the "normal" navier stokes approaches and then slowly branched out into more experimental ones over time, instead it started off using a VERY specific non-standard approach from day 1 that other mathematicians had already been working on specifically for navier stokes.

Theu cheated and stole their work.

>>109858582
who fucking cares dumbass? do you even understand how they are tokenized? it can NEVER do that because it doesnt get as input a string of character, its input is actually a token that gets turned into a high dimensional vector and after that is passed through the network. when the tokenizer sees a word like 'strawberry' it just uses the whole token instead of breaking it down letter by letter. i wondder if it could count numbers correctly if you sent an llm separate tokens for 's' 't' 'r' 'a' 'w' 'b' 'e' 'r' 'r' 'y'. and geniunely who cares? can't you see actual use cases for frontier models outside of counting letters?

The reason modern models no longer have trouble with this btw is that they can reliably associate word tokens with the tokens of the letters they're composed of. They still get tripped up sometimes by word sets like months or days of the weeks, since they associate those more strongly with numbers for internal calculations and for programming, pretty interesting stuff really.
Also models with vision sidestep the problem entirely when parsing a screenshot of the word since they do see individual characters.

>The reason modern models no longer have trouble with this btw is that they can reliably associate word tokens with the tokens of the letters they're composed of
That's because OpenAI trained their models on tasks like counting the number of letters in a word lol. A smarter way to overcome an LLMs inability to read letter would be to make it run a program and use the output of the program to discern the number of letters. But the best and least computationally expensive way to overcome this would be to have a small model before the tokenizer that only exists to sometimes give the model a string of characters instead of a token.
>>
>>109858633
So it's stupid.
>>
>>109858757
Yeah, in fact agentic models usually do a quick py script for stuff like that since they're well aware of the common pitfalls (they almost never copy long strings of text "by hand" for example.)
And I'm reasonably certain modern models have various subprocesses to handle specific task types, it's why they're finally good at "mental" arithmetics for example.
>>
>>109858769
yes its stupid in the domain of counting letters
but gpt6 astra is likely a better programmer and mathematician than you, if not better it's still faster than you

Not an LLM.
Trained on a databank of proteins we already knew how they folded.
Protein folding is something we already could simulate (folding@home).

>And I'm reasonably certain modern models have various subprocesses to handle specific task types, it's why they're finally good at "mental" arithmetics for example.
I wonder if frontier models have an MoE expert that was not trained by gradient descent but by regular algorithms to do math or maybe only arithmetic?

it's tragic. Math was one of the last remnants of 19th century romanticism in our age. I hate maths myself but I find it comforting to know that absolute spergs like Villaini or Perelman could have fun in their little worlds, and feel part of some centuries old lineage.
Now they're more useless than fucking chess players ffs
