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.

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 ...

OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI Insider analysis and scoop.

Whenever I get coffee with a mathematician, I always ask which of the seven Millennium Problems they think will be next 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.

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 ...

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul ...

Newly released national test scores show student achievement in math rising at the elementary school level—but not among ...
