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.

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 ...

A simple-looking math problem has confused people for years. Here's the answer and the reasoning behind it—that settles the ...

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

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

The bat-and-ball problem is a famous math puzzle that more than half of people—even Harvard graduates—get wrong. It's ...
