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

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.

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

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.

In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. And while the story of Tao's breakthrough is promising, the problem isn't ...

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 ...

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

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.
