September 15, 2025: The Day the Industry Admitted AI Subscriptions Don't Work

Cursor and Kiro, two AI model access platforms, have introduced changes to their pricing models, moving away from flat-fee pricing and towards more complex, usage-based systems, which may lead to increased costs for users. The changes, which include token-based pricing and opaque "spec" and "vibe" request systems, have been criticized for being unpredictable and unfavorable to the community, highlighting the challenges of sustaining unlimited access to expensive AI models at consumer price points.

The Mathematician's Assistant: Integrating AI into Research Practice

The development of artificial intelligence is transforming mathematical research with new tools that can solve problems and evaluate proofs, but these models also have systematic flaws, such as a lack of self-critique. To effectively integrate AI into research, a framework is proposed where AI acts as a "copilot" under human guidance, requiring a new skill set focused on strategic prompting, critical verification, and methodological rigor to augment, rather than automate, the research process.
