Math illuminates how traffic flows, how our cells build proteins and even how to speed up medical imaging scans. Some worry ...

OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

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.

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 ...

Whenever I get coffee with a mathematician, I always ask which of the seven Millennium Problems they think will be next to ...

Tensordyne says logarithmic computing could reduce AI inference costs and power demands, offering an alternative to conventional chip designs.

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.

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

Artificial intelligence built by OpenAI has cracked a decades-old conjecture by Paul Erdős, which mathematicians have hailed as a monumental moment for AI in mathematics ...
