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.
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
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 ...
Large Language Models (LLMs) have ushered in a new era of artificial intelligence (AI) demonstrating remarkable capabilities in language generation, translation, and reasoning. Yet, LLMs often stumble ...
Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...
