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.

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.

A brainy riddle that's stumped mathematicians since World War II appears to have been cracked via artificial intelligence. OpenAI says one of its AI models has solved the "unit distance problem," a ...

OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...

AI solved a math problem that stumped experts for 80 years, revealing deeper lessons about human cognition, focus, and ...

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

Company says work on Paul Erdős planar unit distance problem shows advance in AI reasoning ...

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 said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul ...
