In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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 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.

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

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.

AI solved a math problem that stumped experts for 80 years, revealing deeper lessons about human cognition, focus, and ...

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.
