Let’s start here: math’s most famous problem is no closer to being solved than it was a week ago. Neither humans nor artificial intelligence have made progress on the Riemann hypothesis. In a blog ...

OpenAI’s Astra generates machine‑checkable proofs for ten decades‑old math problems, showing how verified AI can cut ...

Mathematics has relied on the same basic system for thousands of years: someone has an idea, writes it down, and other humans check it. But AI is now advancing so quickly that this trust-based process ...

Artificial intelligence has been inching toward genuine mathematical discovery for years, but a claim from OpenAI in early August 2026 pushed the story into new territory. The company said its latest ...

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 ...

For more than 150 years, the Riemann hypothesis has stood as one of the major unsolved problems in mathematics. Anthropic hasn't solved it — but the company's models made more progress than you might ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

The Jacobian conjecture is a long-standing open problem in algebraic geometry that's bedeviled highly accomplished mathematicians for almost 90 years. It was included in "Smale's problems," a list of ...

Unbeknownst to them, the puzzle would help launch a profound branch of modern math about order among chaos and spark a ...
