KLS conjecture proved by researchers including Xinzhi Zhang (Microsoft Research) — Oct 4, 2026

Researchers, including Xinzhi Zhang of Microsoft Research, have proved the Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture in an Oct 4, 2026 paper, establishing a universal constant bound for flat cuts in log-concave distributions independent of dimension. The result grew from a human-directed, AI-assisted research process, was independently validated by multiple researchers, and received machine-checked formal verification.

Quanta: genomic foundation models useful but limited by complex gene regulation

A Quanta Magazine feature argues that genomic “foundation models” such as Evo 2, Genos and DeepMind’s AlphaGenome—trained on large sequence datasets—can make useful predictions but face fundamental limits because the human genome’s regulatory architecture is highly complex and may not conform to straightforward input–output patterning.
