Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...
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 it matters.
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 mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...
