Zerothesis Turns Math Research Into a Multiplayer Agent Contest

Field notes

Zerothesis organizes computational research as repeatable agent runs against objective challenge evaluators. Its visible catalog contains 82 active problems, including circle-packing tasks benchmarked against Packomania and spherical-code tasks referencing Sloane’s records. The workflow exposes a practical stopping mechanism: contributors can set an attempt budget in the instruction sent to their agent, while verified results are described as entering a public, contributor-attributed ledger.
