Uncoordinated artificial intelligence agents solve five open mathematical problems together.

Artificial intelligence agents operating without central coordinators produced new mathematical discoveries and proofs across five distinct problems. Automated mathematics previously depended on human guidance or rigid, pre-scripted computational pipelines. Here, software agents from diverse model families selected their own goals, wrote code, exchanged papers in a shared digital library, and verified calculations together.
