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.
A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...
OpenAI says its AI model solved a famous 80-year-old maths problem that puzzled experts for decades, marking a major ...
AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2 are steps toward building systems that can reason, which could unlock exciting new capabilities. AI models can easily generate essays and other types of text. However, ...
You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...
