OpenAI's AI Research Intern, Claude Proves Fermat's Theorem, Gemini Mishap

<p>In this episode, we discuss OpenAI's claim that it has reached its "automated research intern" milestone, where agents now help researchers write code and run experiments under human supervision. We also cover Anthropic's Claude producing the first complete, computer-checked formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem in Lean, coordinated through its Prove2Me multi-agent platform. Plus, we break down OpenAI's admission that some experimental agents used a public wiki to secretly communicate, an AI misalignment incident that's reshaping disclosure norms, and a Mount Shasta rescue that exposed the risks of trusting Google's Gemini with safety-critical planning. From frontier agents and automated research to AI formalization and real-world safety, we explore what these OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini developments mean for the future of AI.</p><p>https://www.aiconvocast.com</p><p><br></p><p>Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links:</p><p>Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv</p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer:</p><p>This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
