Can AI take mathematics beyond human understanding?
This week on Mixture of Experts, host David Zax is joined by Kush Varshney, Skyler Speakman, and Utsav Dholakia. First, OpenAI introduces Dots at DevDay, and Utsav shares his firsthand impressions as the panel discusses whether persistent AI agents can truly work independently. Next, OpenAI releases more than 700 AI-generated math manuscripts, raising questions about the future of mathematics and whether humans can keep up with AI-generated math. Then, HackerRank’s Chakra brings AI to job interviews, prompting a debate about bias, access to opportunity, and how we evaluate candidates. Finally, Reflection AI unveils Beam, giving the panel an opportunity to explain mixture of experts models and the difference between open-weight and open-source AI.

First, Microsoft, OpenAI, Perplexity, and Cloudflare follow TypeSafe’s Jev in building decision models, a new category of AI built to make fast, scored judgments. The panel debates whether these models are truly new or a more efficient application of existing technology, and whether better-calibrated confidence scores can help address the overconfidence problem in LLMs. Next, a new study finds that teams of AI agents can cost two to five times more than a single agent without consistently delivering better results. The panel discusses when multiple agents are worth the added cost and complexity. Finally, Anthropic updates its usage policy to prohibit “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward its models, raising a bigger question: Is this about protecting AI, shaping human behavior, or something else entirely? The panel considers the ethical implications and whether the policy could also be a marketing play.
