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 says an AI reasoning model disproved an 80-year-old Erdős geometry conjecture, raising new questions about AI’s role ...

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 ...

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

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today unveiled two new AI models that are capable of advanced mathematical reasoning for solving complex math problems, which ...

It took over a decade of checking and rechecking before his fellow mathematicians were happy that Dr Hales’s calculations ...

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 ...
