The First Proof benchmark shows frontier AI systems solving 90% of unpublished expert-level math problems, while the best open-weight model fails all, indicating a ten-month capability gap. The ProofCouncil's author-critic loop architecture greatly improves proof correctness, exposition, and citation through multi-agent review and independent verification, at significantly higher computational cost.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a wide gap between public open-weight AI models and the best frontier AI in expert math problem-solving, so building or partnering on independent multi-agent review systems like ProofCouncil could set your AI apart on accuracy and trust. The cost to verify proofs is now a major investment that can distinguish high-integrity AI services from baseline models.
