As I have stated before, AI will win a fields medal before it can manage a McDonald's

A difficult part was constructing a chess board on which to play math (Lean). Now it's just pattern recognition and computation.

LLMs are just the beginning, we'll see more specialized math AI resembling StockFish soon.

One thing seems for certain is that OpenAI models hold a distinct lead in academics over Anthropic and Google models. For those in academics, is OpenAI the vendor of choice?
