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 makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI Insider analysis and scoop.

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.

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, what happens to the idea of human genius? That question is no longer ...

The dual agent AI system autonomously solved Anderson's conjecture from 2014 Rethlas explores problem-solving strategies like a human mathematician would Archon transforms potential proofs into ...

These are math’s most famous open questions. Solve one, and you’ll win a $1-million prize—but it’s only happened once since ...

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul ...

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

At a secret meeting in 2025, some of the world's leading mathematicians gathered to test OpenAI's newest large language model, o4-mini. Experts at the meeting were amazed by how much the model's ...

Researchers at Google DeepMind have announced that their AI system, AlphaProof Nexus, has solved nine longstanding problems posed by Paul Erdős, including some that remained unsolved for over fifty ...

Google DeepMind said AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős problems using Lean-verified proofs. The claim has sharpened debate over hallucinations in AI maths and what counts as real progress ...

A new study found that AI assistance improved performance in the moment but reduced problem-solving ability once the tool was ...
