Aletheia, powered by Gemini Deep Think, solves several Erdős items and writes an eigenweights paper

On 11 February 2026 DeepMind reported that Aletheia, a math agent on Gemini Deep Think, autonomously solved Erdős 1051 (motivating a generalization), disproved clauses of Erdős 1040 and a strong pinned-distance form of 654, and generated a publishable arithmetic-geometry paper on eigenweights without human intervention.

Autonomous publishable math and several Erdős-database solves are notable (tier 2); DeepMind itself does not claim a landmark. Attribution to Deep Think / Aletheia (0.75). Evidence is a lab blog plus problem-database updates (0.40). Realization is posted research, some submitted (0.50).

What happened

This is one announcement, distinct from the already-scored IMO 2025 gold Deep Think event. DeepMind classifies the work as Level 1–2 (publishable), not Level 3–4 landmark. Four Erdős-database items and the eigenweights paper share the agent, model, and date, so they are one ledger event. IMO gold is not re-imported.

Model attribution

Gemini

Reasoning mode inside the Aletheia math research agent that produced the Erdős solves and the eigenweights paper.

DeepMind attributes the February 2026 math-agent results to Gemini Deep Think mode, the same named family as the IMO 2025 gold system but a later research deployment.
