What do you do when AI stops making mistakes?..

Today's episode takes you to the cutting edge of artificial intelligence — where success itself has become a problem. Imagine a model that solves almost every math competition problem. It doesn’t stumble. It doesn’t fail. It just wins. Again and again.

But if AI is now the perfect student... what’s left for the teacher to teach? That’s the crisis researchers are facing: most existing math benchmarks no longer pose a real challenge to today’s top LLMs — models like GPT-5, Grok, and Gemini Pro.

The solution? Math Arena Apex — a brand-new, ultra-difficult benchmark designed to finally test the limits of AI in mathematical reasoning.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why being "too good" is actually a research problem

• How Apex was built: 12 of the hardest problems, curated from hundreds of elite competitions

• Two radically different ways to define what it means for an AI to "solve" a math problem

• What repeated failure patterns reveal about the weaknesses of even the most advanced models

• How LLMs like GPT-5 and Grok often give confident but wrong answers — complete with convincing pseudo-proofs

• Why visualization, doubt, and stepping back — key traits of human intuition — remain out of reach for current AI

This episode is packed with real examples, like:

• The problem that every model failed — but any human could solve in seconds with a quick sketch

• The trap that fooled all LLMs into giving the exact same wrong answer

• How a small nudge like “this problem isn’t as easy as it looks” sometimes unlocks better answers from models

🔍 We’re not just asking what these models can’t do — we’re asking why. You'll get a front-row seat to the current frontier of AI limitations, where language models fall short not due to lack of power, but due to the absence of something deeper: real mathematical intuition.

🎓 If you're into AI, math, competitions, or the future of technology — this episode is full of insights you won’t want to miss.

👇 A question for you:
Do you think AI will ever develop that uniquely human intuition — the ability to feel when an answer is too simple, or spot a trap in the obvious approach? Or will we always need to design new traps to expose its limits?

🎧 Stick around to the end — we’re not just exploring failure, but also asking: What comes after Apex?

Key Takeaways:

• Even frontier AIs have hit a ceiling on traditional math tasks, prompting the need for a new level of difficulty

• Apex reveals fundamental weaknesses in current LLMs: lack of visual reasoning, inability to self-correct, and misplaced confidence

• Model mistakes are often systematic — a red flag pointing toward deeper limitations in architecture and training methods
