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 ...

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

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

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

A ChatGPT AI has proved a conjecture with a method no human had thought of. Experts believe it may have further uses ...

The puzzle poses a deceptively simple question that boils down to: How many pairs of dots on a piece of paper can be the same ...

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

24-year-old founder and CEO Carina Hong created Axiom Math in March 2025 and has recruited a team of ten employees, most of whom are from Meta, to build a math-focused AI model. Last fall, Carina Hong ...

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 ...
