DeepMind’s AI finds new solution to decades-old math puzzle — outsmarting humans

DeepMind has used a large language model (LLM) to generate a novel solution to one of humanity’s toughest math problems — in a breakthrough that could herald a new era in AI development.  The model, known as FunSearch, discovered a solution to the so-called “cap set puzzle.” The decades-old math conundrum essentially comes down to how many dots you can joint down on a page while drawing lines between them, without three of them ever forming a straight line. If that gave you a migraine, don’t worry. What’s important to note is that the problem has never been solved, and…
