Episode 22: Let's do the Math!

Sam Nadler and Jordan Metzner return with one of the most mind-bending episodes yet. Joined by Carina, founder & CEO of Axiom Math, the startup is building a self-improving, formal-reasoning AI mathematician. The trio breaks down why math is the next AI frontier, how Lean formalization works, and why proving theorems is a completely different challenge than solving them.

Jordan also unveils his newest build: the LLM Math Roaster, a tool that scores, compares, and even roasts large models on proofs, with a full leaderboard, custom problem submissions, and an API for automated evaluation. (Yes, it even benchmarked Gemini, GPT-5, Claude, and Grok head-to-head.)

In AI News, the hosts unpack Google’s massive Gemini 3 launch, Jeff Bezos stepping into the arena with Project Prometheus, and Suno’s $250M raise at a $2.45B valuation, plus what hyper-powerful AI means for creativity, coding, and even music composition.

It’s fast builds, deep math, big models, and a guest who’s literally building the future of reasoning.
