The Langlands Program is a research program not a single mathematical problem. It consists of many open conjectures with various levels of progress toward them. However, I think it's quite a victory that the goal posts have moved from "LLMs can't solve problems" to "LLMs probably can't solve all open conjectures in Langlands Program in one shot.
But as I said way up above, if you have the statement of any particular problem you can just use the function that evaluates proofs as your objective function. If you were to do this in Lean, for example, you'd get compiler output that contains information you can use to see if you're on the right track.
In addition to the output of the proof program you'd probably want to score sub-computations in the proof as metrics. E.g. if you want to show that a map has finite fibers, you may want to record the size of the fibers, or a max over the size. If you need to know an element is not contained in some Levi subgroup then you may want to record information about the relevant Levi decomposition. This mimics things that humans know to score their progress as they're doing computations.
If you want a simple, well defined problem that a child can understand the statement of, how about giving me the objective function for the Collatz Conjecture?
