Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

Working memory is like a mental chalkboard we use to store temporary information while executing other tasks. Scientists worked with more than 200 elementary students to test their working memory, ...

In the article “Are Students Prepared for College-Level Math? A Senator Wants to Know ” (Jan. 23, 2026), U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La. raises a valid question by asking colleges whether K–12 systems ...

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 ...

OpenAI says an internal model solved a famous open problem on its own. The result raises the bar for what frontier AI can do in research. It lands days before OpenAI's expected IPO filing this week.

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Every few months, the enterprise AI conversation resets around the same flawed premise that better models solve the problem. When large language models hallucinate, the instinct is to reach for a ...

Swalwell’s that ends well. Or maybe not, for California Democrats. They lost a frontrunner, and they don’t have a replacement yet. Eric Swalwell quit the race for California governor on Sunday night, ...

OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 Pro has solved an open mathematical problem that human researchers could not crack since 2019, according to independent verification by Epoch AI. Contributed by mathematicians Will ...

In a step toward biological computing, brain organoids rewired their networks as they learned to balance a digital pole on a cart. Try balancing a ruler vertically on the palm of your hand while ...

GPT just keeps getting better at mathematics, increasingly solving the trickiest of problems. In January, AI testing company Epoch AI found that a previous version of the AI model, GPT-5.2 Pro had ...
