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.

Researchers have introduced Light-R1-32B, a new open-source AI model optimized to solve advanced math problems. It is now available on Hugging Face under a permissive Apache 2.0 license — free for ...

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 ...

New Delhi: OpenAI says one of its internal AI models has solved a famous maths problem that kept researchers busy for nearly 80 years. The problem, first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946, is called the ...

In a new open-access study that I published with my late colleague Kostya Trachenko from Queen Mary University of London, I propose a surprisingly simple nonlinear mathematical equation that unifies ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...

Chinese AI lab DeepSeek has quietly updated Prover, its AI model that’s designed to solve math-related proofs and theorems. According to South China Morning Post, DeepSeek uploaded the latest version ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...
