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 ...

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.

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

Can advanced mathematics decode the exotic geometries of a psychedelic trip to unlock a new science of reality?

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 ...

Top artificial intelligence systems now ace many textbook-style math questions, yet they still fall apart on genuinely new problems. The gap between polished performance on familiar benchmarks and ...

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 ...

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 ...
