    100% agree on the productivity boost. One just needs patience to correct mistakes, which are more subtle than before imo. I had a nice interaction with GPT-5-pro while proving a convex analysis lemma: arxiv.org/abs/2510.26647 The model didn’t write the full proof, but the

    Totally agree with @ErnestRyu that AI helpers will become very useful for research. But in the near future the biggest help will be with *informal* math, the kind we work out with our collaborators/grad students on a whiteboard. I already use frontier models to help write/debug

    Wow!! I tried to prove this in 2019, without success. This is embarrassing lol I remember in 2023 @SebastienBubeck told me something like "Can an LLM rediscover Nesterov's acceleration? Not now, but certainly soon"

    The proof, cleaned up and typed up by me, resolves the 42-year-old open problem: 5/N

    To make it work well for generative modeling, people use a "corrector" that introduces noise every other discretization step. And with the right corrector, sampling with the ODE scales as O(sqrt d) instead of O(d) that you would expect from the SDE:

    The case alpha=0 is special, since the backward flow is deterministic (noise is only added at initial time -- well here in my simulation there no noise at all!). I guess it does not work well for generative models (?). It is similar in spirit to normalizing flows.

    The probability flow ODE is provably fast
    We provide the first polynomial-time convergence guarantees for the probability flow ODE implementation (together with a corrector step) of score-based generative modeling. Our analysis is carried...

    The list of accepted workshops is out. Of course, many workshops on LLMs. We did our best to ensure diversity of topics but please make an effort in your proposals next year. Nobody wants an LLM only program

    When I say mistakes are more subtle than before. You see the bug?
