A few weeks ago, a landmark study finally landed in Organization Science after circulating as a Harvard working paper for a couple of years. It’s called “Navigating the Jagged Technological Frontier,” and if you work in AI or think seriously about where knowledge work is headed, it’s worth your time. The researchers — a team…
Co-founder and CTO of TrueMath, Elia Freedman, posted this on his personal blog. We thought it was worth reposting here. Enjoy! Over the past few years I’ve had the opportunity to observe a lot of AI-assisted software development. In my experience there was a clear shift in November 2025 when Claude Opus 4.5 launched. What…
And if you’re building AI infrastructure, you need to understand why. Frequently, an investor or analyst looks at what we’re building at TrueMath and says some version of what we heard this past week: “You’re flying too close to the sun where the big models roam.” In other words, isn’t it just easy for OpenAI…
The Case for Math Governance in AI Financial Workflows A Field CTO at IBM Financial Services recently published a paper that should be required reading for anyone deploying AI in regulated financial environments. Raffi Khatchadourian’s “Replayable Financial Agents” poses a simple question: if a regulator asks your AI system to reproduce a flagged transaction decision,…
TrueMath is a deterministic math infrastructure platform for software developers. It’s not a calculator. It’s not an AI model. It’s a computation engine that produces auditable, reproducible, exact results inside software workflows, including natural language workflows. Think of it as the math layer that AI needs but doesn’t have. To show what that means in…
Anthropic’s expansion of Claude’s enterprise “Cowork” plugins marks an important inflection point in the evolution of AI systems. Claude is no longer positioned solely as a conversational assistant but as an operational actor capable of interacting directly with tools like Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs and Sheets, and internal enterprise systems. This signals a broader shift…
Is AI Math solved? Maybe you think it is if Math Olympiad results mean “solved.” But what if “solved” means ready for reliable, production scale utilization?
The First Shift: Capability Matt Shumer is right. Something big is happening. The acceleration in AI capability is not incremental. It is structural. Tasks that once required teams now require prompts. Work that once demanded weeks of coordination now compresses into hours. Intelligence, at least in its procedural form, is becoming abundant. That transformation will…
(This is a repost of Elia’s original blog post at eliainsider.com) When I started developing software, the operating system handed off control to an application, the application did its thing, and when done, handed back control to the operating system. These early systems were largely single-application and linear. Control flow was simple and direct. The…
