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.

DeepMind, the Google AI R&D lab, believes that the key to more capable AI systems might lie in uncovering new ways to solve challenging geometry problems. To that end, DeepMind today unveiled ...

A computer chip modeled after the human brain just solved the kind of math that keeps fighter jets from shaking apart in ...

Pasqal Holding SAS (“Pasqal”) today announced new research showing a more advanced approach to quantum computing that can deliver significantly better results on practical problems. For the first time ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

What if the toughest problems humanity faces—those that stump our brightest minds and stretch the limits of human ingenuity—could be tackled by a single, purpose-built system? Enter Gemini Deep Think, ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

They had to throw away most of what it produced but there was gold among the garbage. Google DeepMind has used a large language model to crack a famous unsolved problem in pure mathematics. In a paper ...

Text was easy. The internet had decades of it, sitting in public, cleaned and chunked and fed into models at scale. You could argue about quality, about bias, a ...
