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.

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

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

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

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.

"Current automated techniques can produce plausible but unreliable (or even incorrect) arguments which are difficult 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.

From writing essays to coding, there’s seemingly nothing modern AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot cannot accomplish. But even though they seem limitless on the surface, they’re certainly ...

We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...

There are all sorts of apps available in the market these days, and some of them are immensely useful. Like the apps we’ll talk about in these articles. These apps allow you to solve math problems by ...

In the article “ Are Students Prepared for College-Level Math? A Senator Wants to Know ” (Jan. 23, 2026), U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La. raises a valid question by asking colleges whether K–12 systems ...
