📅 Announced: May 5, 2025

🏛️ Agency: DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency)

🚨 DARPA has officially launched expMath — short for Exponential Mathematics — an ambitious project designed to revolutionize mathematical research by using cutting-edge AI as a co-author in discovery. 🧬💡

🎯 Core Goals of expMath

• 🤖📖 AI as Co-Author: AI will help generate, test, and prove new theorems — not just calculate but truly collaborate.
• 🔍🧩 Problem Decomposition: Break complex problems into smaller “lemmas” for faster, smarter solutions.
• 🗣️➡️📜 Translation Engine: AI will convert plain language into formal proofs (and vice versa!).
• 📊🧪 Evaluation Metrics: Tools to measure how well AI performs in solving hard math — accuracy, elegance, and novelty.

🧪 Tech Behind the Magic

• 📚 Large Language Models (LLMs): Trained on enormous text corpora to understand math-talk and abstract reasoning. 🧠💬
• 🎮 Reinforcement Learning: AI learns how to “play” the math game by trial, error, and eventual mastery. 🎯👾
• 🧑‍💻 Program Synthesis: Code-generating AI that builds formal proof steps as mini-programs. 🧾💻

🌐 Why It Matters

• ⚡ Speed Boost: Months or years of human effort could be done in hours. ⏱️📈
• 🌍 Accessible Math: Students, hobbyists, and smaller institutions gain tools once reserved for top research labs. 🏫📚
• 🚀 Breakthrough Tech: Better math leads to new materials, cryptography, defense tech, and physics modeling. 🔐🛰️

📣 Call to Action

💥 DARPA is now accepting proposals! If you're a mathematician, AI researcher, or innovator — this is your moment. 💼🧪

🗓️ Deadline to submit: July 8, 2025
