AI at Meta: six maths papers from mathematician–Muse Spark collaborations

Thread opener: after gold-medal-level performance in five competitions, Meta asked whether AI can contribute to genuinely open problems. Mathematicians used Muse Spark 1.1 and 1.2 in Thinking Mode via the regular meta.ai chat, with no custom scaffold. A second group of mathematicians reviewed the work, each paper marks human- vs AI-drafted passages, and independent solutions are credited.

Following gold-medal-level performance from our AI models across five competitions in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, we asked a harder question: can AI contribute when a problem is genuinely open and without an existing solution path?

Over the past several months, mathematicians worked with Muse Spark 1.1 and Muse Spark 1.2 in Thinking Mode through the regular http://meta.ai chat interface, with no custom research scaffold, to find solutions to such problems.

Our goal wasn't to mass-produce papers, but empower researchers. Every collaboration followed the same principles: mathematicians guided the research, a second group of mathematicians then reviewed the work, each paper marks which passages were drafted primarily by humans or AI, and each credits the prior research it builds on. Where other teams independently announced solutions to the same problems, we acknowledge their work as well.

Today, we're sharing six papers from that collaboration.
