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

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

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 ...

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

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.

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

OpenAI's AI model solved the famous unit distance problem, a question that had challenged mathematicians since 1946 ...

OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...

OpenAI announced this week that one of its general-purpose reasoning models made a breakthrough that has grabbed the attention of elite mathematicians.

OpenAI claims one of its newest AI reasoning models has solved a maths problem that has remained unsolved since 1946. The ...

A general-purpose reasoning model, not a math-trained system, produced a new family of point configurations that broke Paul Erdős's 1946 upper bound for the pla ...
