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 ...

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.

After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erdős, mathematicians have borrowed the ...

Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős’ ‘planar unit distance conjecture’ has stood since 1946 – but an AI disproof has made ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved 9 open Erdős problems and proved 44 OEIS conjectures using AI-driven formal ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational ...

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who ...

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

When a startup struggles, founders usually assume the solution is obvious: more marketing, more hiring, or more capital. But in my experience advising founders, the real issue is usually something ...

GPT just keeps getting better at mathematics, increasingly solving the trickiest of problems. In January, AI testing company Epoch AI found that a previous version of the AI model, GPT-5.2 Pro had ...
