It means something that is too out-of-data. For example if you try to make an LLM write a program in a strange or very new language it will struggle in non-trivial tasks.

I understand what "a new problem for an LLM is", my question is about what in the math discussion qualifies as a one.
I see references to "improvements", "optimizing" and what I would describe as "iterating over existing solutions" work, not something that's "new". But as I'm not well versed into maths I was hoping that someone that considers the thread as definite proof for that, like parent seems to be, is capable of offering a dumbed down explanation for the five year olds among us. :)
