The paper explores the creative potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) in mathematical reasoning. It argues that AI systems should not only produce correct answers but also assist humans in developing novel solutions to mathematical challenges. The authors introduce a new framework and benchmark, CreativeMath, which assesses LLMs’ ability to propose innovative solutions after some known solutions have been provided. Experiments show that while LLMs perform well on standard mathematical tasks, their capacity for creative problem-solving varies considerably. Notably, the Gemini-1.5-Pro model outperformed other LLMs in generating novel solutions.

AI systems can do more than just get the right answers to math problems. They can also help humans come up with new solutions! This paper looks at how well big language models do this kind of creative problem-solving. The researchers created a special test, called CreativeMath, that shows LLMs trying to solve math problems in new and interesting ways. They found that while the models are good at regular math problems, they’re not all equally good at coming up with new ideas. One model, called Gemini-1.5-Pro, did really well at this kind of creative thinking.
