OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

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 says an AI reasoning model disproved an 80-year-old Erdős geometry conjecture, raising new questions about AI’s role ...

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 ...

We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...

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

Ramsey problems, such as r(4,5) are simple to state, but as shown in this graph, the possible solutions are nearly endless, making them very difficult to solve. We’ve all been there: staring at a math ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...

Every few months, a math problem goes viral on social media. Disappointingly often, it lacks mathematical meat. It seems over half of them boil down to the order of operations. Some tweet will get ...
