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

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

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

An 80-year-old challenge in geometry has been cracked by an artificial-intelligence chatbot after a single prompt from mathematicians at the technology firm OpenAI. The company, based in San Francisco ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...

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

It’s said that AI could soon be coming for the jobs of artists, lawyers, and software engineers. But it might now also be threatening a role at the height of academia – are pure mathematicians safe?

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