A new benchmark pitting AI against previously unseen maths problems shows systems still fall short of top human expertise.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

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

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.

Take a sheet of paper and draw dots on it. How many pairs of points can you place so that they are all exactly one centimeter ...

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 ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

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

PAID ADVERTORIAL - That familiar feeling of dread can creep in around 7 p.m. on a school night. Your child slides a worksheet across the table, looks up with hopeful eyes, and asks for help with a ...
