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 ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...

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's AI model solved the famous unit distance problem, a question that had challenged mathematicians since 1946 ...

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

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 ...

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, ...
