In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

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

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

A general-purpose reasoning model, not a math-trained system, produced a new family of point configurations that broke Paul Erdős's 1946 upper bound for the pla ...

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

An AI system developed by OpenAI has produced a verified proof addressing a classic problem in discrete geometry first posed in 1946.
