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 ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the planar unit distance problem. The question posed by the legendary Hungarian ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

A brainy riddle that's stumped mathematicians since World War II appears to have been cracked via artificial intelligence.

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 ...
