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

Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős’ ‘planar unit distance conjecture’ has stood since 1946 – but an AI disproof has made ...

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.

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, ...

A general-purpose reasoning model, not a math-trained system, produced a new family of point configurations that broke Paul Erdős's 1946 upper bound for the pla ...

OpenAI had generated plenty of buzz by coming up with a breakthrough for an 80-year-old Erdős problem, but Anthropic now says that ...

OpenAI's AI model solved the famous unit distance problem, a question that had challenged mathematicians since 1946 ...
