Aletheia solves six FirstProof problems

Google DeepMind’s Aletheia, a mathematics research agent powered by Gemini 3 Deep Think, autonomously solved 6 of 10 open problems in the inaugural FirstProof challenge according to majority expert assessments. The paper and public repo push the story beyond Olympiad-style benchmark wins toward long-horizon theorem proving on live research problems.

// ANALYSIS

Aletheia is one of the strongest signs yet that reasoning agents are starting to matter for real research, not just polished benchmark demos.

  • FirstProof is framed as an open-problem challenge, so solving 6 of 10 problems is a much stronger signal than another closed-form math benchmark result
  • DeepMind says Aletheia iteratively generates, verifies, and revises proofs, and can admit failure instead of forcing brittle answers
  • The result still deserves careful scrutiny: the paper notes experts were not unanimous on Problem 8, which makes transparency and replication important
  • The GitHub release includes prompts, outputs, and FirstProof artifacts, giving researchers something concrete to inspect instead of just a headline claim
