AI Proves Sendov’s Conjecture and Reveals a Stronger Result, Says Tao

An AI‑assisted proof using about 90,000 lines of Lean 4 formal code resolves the 70‑year‑old Sendov conjecture, and Terence Tao’s subsequent simplification shows it also settles the stronger Phelps‑Rodriguez conjecture, illustrating a new human‑machine collaboration model in mathematics.
