Part 4/10:
Moreover, the mathematical journey is rife with failures and dead ends, a reality not often documented in research literature but integral to development in the field. The storytelling aspect—glossing over failures and the iterative process leading to breakthroughs—draws attention to the need for AI systems to replicate not just solutions, but also the development of solutions through a comprehensive training experience.
While Epoch AI aims for its benchmark to remain relevant for five years, they are continually curating problems of increasing difficulty, believing that the eventual dataset will not only last but also challenge AI models significantly more than previous benchmarks did.
