AI for Math Fund
The AI for Math Fund seeks to advance the pace and impact of math discovery by supporting projects that are important for the field. XTX Markets is the founding donor of the AI for Math Fund.
Overview
The AI for Math Fund supports projects and initiatives that apply AI and machine learning to mathematics.
Our primary offering is subgranting. Through open funding calls, we uncover new ideas to address key AI For Math needs including promising technical research, new paradigms and concepts for machine learning research in mathematics, and critical tools to empower mathematicians.
We plan to expand our work to field-building (connecting members of the community) and talent development (strengthening the AI for Math talent pipeline).

AI for Math Summer Fellowships
We are excited to launch AI For Math summer fellowships!
Through this program, we will select and place highly talented undergraduate, master’s, and/or PhD students within 2025 AI For Math Fund winner teams for a period of 10 weeks (June - August 2026).
Fellowship Details
The program will operate via a placement-based model, where fellows are embedded directly within selected AI For Math project teams.
Duration: 10 weeks (mid-June to August 2026)
Supervision: Each fellow will have a clearly designated mentor within the project team
In addition to project work, fellows may participate in:
A program kick-off/orientation
Cohort check-ins
