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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...
