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.

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

America, we’ve got a middle school problem. Although reading and math scores are up for 9-year-olds on the National ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...

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 ...
