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 ...

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

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.

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

Most people wouldn't think that it would take rigorous mathematical proof to show how many folds it takes to make a donut ...

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