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 ...

In 1960, three scientists published a paper in Science that calculated, with deliberate provocation, that the human ...

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

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.

In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

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

The model unmasks a severe structural asymmetry in decision-making: setting an ambition threshold too high is far costlier to personal or professional performance than setting it too low by an ...

Researchers have introduced Light-R1-32B, a new open-source AI model optimized to solve advanced math problems. It is now available on Hugging Face under a permissive Apache 2.0 license — free for ...

A mathematical model has now cracked the exact degree to which one should be ambitious and unlike conventional wisdom, it ...

Researchers formulated a mathematical equation that unifies 12,000 years of human population growth and points to an alarming ...
