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. Thatโs why Mooreโs Law was so popular.
Thereโs 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?

Our species has built powerful tools; tools which allow one person to accomplish the work of thousands. But weโre not equipped for this level of responsibility. I hope each of you is learning to ask and answer difficult questions such as these.

Itโs going to be an exciting month! Lots of new capabilities to explore; lots of new things to build.

My insight of the day at #GTC25: we are likely to see โjust in time codeโ 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).

Awesome! What UI libraries is it using? Did you pick them? Most of the demos Iโve seen are React web apps.
Thereโs been a great amount of success with models that โthinkโ to themselves in text. How much luck are people having with models that โtalkโ to themselves in audio, โimagineโ to themselves in visual space, and โsniffโ around in molecular space?
The AIโs scratch pad should be multimodal, right?
We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything Iโve seen in my life. Itโs not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
