Terence Tao announces Open Math Model initiative for SAIR Foundation
According to 量子位, Terence Tao announced, on September 18, 2026, the launch of SAIR Foundation's Open Math Model initiative, aiming to build open-weight models and open-source tools for mathematics and science with industry and academia. The first phase will focus on everyday research tasks such as understanding arguments, verifying literature, and formal proofs, operating under principles of open weights, reproducible evaluation, and community governance, and the project is seeking partners for funding, compute, expertise, and community-building. The Foundation recently received support from XTX Markets to fund the next SAIR contest, and plans to release more updates including partner lists and integration with podcasts, events, and competitions.
