The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.

OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

Whenever I get coffee with a mathematician, I always ask which of the seven Millennium Problems they think will be next to ...

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...

A new study reveals that human mathematicians have surpassed AI in solving unpublished high-level math problems, challenging ...

Google DeepMind said AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős problems using Lean-verified proofs. The claim has sharpened debate over hallucinations in AI maths and what counts as real progress ...

The dual agent AI system autonomously solved Anderson's conjecture from 2014 Rethlas explores problem-solving strategies like a human mathematician would Archon transforms potential proofs into ...

AI tutors like Koji are transforming education by enhancing problem-solving skills without replacing teachers.

Over 150 mathematicians signed the Leiden Declaration urging governments to stop trusting AI math breakthrough claims in 2026 ...
