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 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 second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

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

Math illuminates how traffic flows, how our cells build proteins and even how to speed up medical imaging scans. Some worry ...

A breakthrough from an OpenAI model would have meant nothing without humans to make sense of it.

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 says its AI model solved a famous 80-year-old maths problem that puzzled experts for decades, marking a major ...

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.

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today unveiled two new AI models that are capable of advanced mathematical reasoning for solving complex math problems, which ...
