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.

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

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

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

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

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, ...

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

A new mathematical framework, built on a branch of number theory called adelic analysis, has produced a complete proof of the ...

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