transforming multiple scientific disciplines let's now take a closer look at another incredible breakthrough in the world of artificial intelligence and Mathematics Deep Mind the AI Powerhouse has managed to solve a decades old math puzzle using its large language model known as fun search the problem in question is called the Caps set puzzle it involves figuring out how many dots you can place on a page and connect with lines without having three of them form a straight line this might sound simple but it has baffled mathematicians for decades Deep Mind solution comes from fund search a specially designed AI model fun search isn't just any language model it's a pre-trained version of Google's palum 2 combined with an automated evaluator to ensure the accuracy of its findings fund search works by engaging in a continuous backand forth process between the language model and the evaluator this interaction transforms initial guesses into new verifiable knowledge essentially it's like having a rigorous fact Checker built into the system thanks to this process fund search discovered new constructions for large cap sets that go beyond what humans have achieved so far while it hasn't completely solved the puzzle it has generated new fact and insights previously unknown to science this achievement is groundbreaking because it's the first time an AI has made a novel
