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

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

News that large language models (LLM) have made major advances in solving Erdős problems – a set of problems formulated by the renowned 20 th-century mathematician Paul Erdős – has created an ...

Google DeepMind said AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős problems using Lean-verified proofs. The claim has sharpened debate over hallucinations in AI maths and what counts as real progress ...
