arXiv:2605.22763: AI agent with Lean verification solves 9 open Erdős problems and 44 OEIS conjectures

Editorial illustration: mathematical symbols and Lean types connected into a formal proof tree

A team of 20 researchers from DeepMind and MIT CSAIL published the first large-scale evaluation of LLMs for autonomous generation of formal proofs in the Lean theorem prover. The agent combines LLM generation with Lean symbolic verification and autonomously solves 9 of 353 open Erdős problems and proves 44 of 492 OEIS conjectures.

arXiv:2605.06540: Frontier models fall below diversity threshold in idea generation

Editorial illustration: a cloud of thoughts converging into one typical idea across multiple users

When many users employ AI for creative tasks, they all receive similar suggestions — "idea diversity collapse". Researchers introduce an ex ante protocol with an excess-crowding coefficient Δ and diversity ratio ρ. All three tested frontier models fall below the human parity threshold in short stories, marketing slogans, and alternative uses tasks.

arXiv:2604.21508 BioMiner: multimodal AI extracts protein-ligand bioactivity from literature, 5.59× faster than manual work

ArXiv 2604.21508 BioMiner: multimodal AI extracts protein-ligand bioactivity from literature, 5.59× faster than manual work

The team of Jiaxian Yan and colleagues published on April 23, 2026 BioMiner — a multimodal AI system for automated extraction of protein-ligand bioactivity from scientific literature. The system processes text, tables and molecular structures, achieves F1 0.32 on the new BioVista benchmark (16,457 entries from 500 publications) and in a demonstration application extracts 82,262 data points from 11,683 papers.

Google Photos Auto Frame uses 3D models and diffusion to expand the frame

Editorial illustration: AI curiosity — zanimljivosti

Google Photos gained an Auto Frame feature that interprets a 2D photograph as a 3D scene, estimates geometry and camera parameters, then uses latent diffusion models to generate content outside the original frame for alternative compositions.
