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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

Experts in the field are opening themselves up to partnering with AI. Thomas Bloom said it can help fully explore the 'cathedral of mathematics' that humans have built.

An experiment with 2,520 participants backs Richard Feynman’s answer to every diner’s dilemma: do I want to try something new ...
