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.

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

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

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.

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font of surprising connections all over math and beyond it, to the realm of the ...

OpenAI has said that one of its unreleased AI reasoning models has solved a long-standing mathematics problem first proposed by Paul Erdos in 1946.

Get out your timer and number two pencil to see if your arithmetic skills are still sharp.

We’re seeing some new developments in AI models that are shedding light on one of the technology’s most prominent gaps – its relative inability to do math well. Some experts note that AI is ...
