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.

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

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

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.

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font of surprising connections all over math and beyond it, to the realm of the ...

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

A week after OpenAI made headlines with an A.I.-generated proof, a new “declaration” by 16 experts raises concerns that the ...

Math-M-Addicts students eagerly dive into complex math problems during class. In the building of the Speyer Legacy School in New York City, a revolutionary math program is quietly producing some of ...

In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. And while the story of Tao's breakthrough is promising, the problem isn't ...
