I agree with this approach and use it myself, but these confidence markers can also skew output in undesirable ways. All of these heuristics are especially fragile when the subject matter touches the frontiers of what is known.

In any case my best experiences with LLMs for pure math research have been for exploring the problem space and ideation -- queries along the line of "Here's a problem I'm working on ... . Do any other fields have a version of this problem, but framed differently?" or "Give me some totally left field methods, even if they are from different fields or unlikely to work. Assume I've exhausted all the 'obvious' approaches from field X"

That's exactly how I use it. I find claude way more plesent to use than any other gpt I've used.
