In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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 ...

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.

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...

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 claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

An internal OpenAI model has autonomously generated a proof that disproves a famous conjecture in discrete geometry, one originally proposed by the legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős. The AI ...
