A long-standing problem in discrete geometry involving how many pairs of points can be exactly one unit apart has been addressed using an artificial intelligence system developed by OpenAI, according ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

On May 20, 2026, OpenAI announced that its internal AI model had disproven a long-held prediction regarding the 'unit distance problem,' a central unsolved problem in discrete geometry. The unit ...

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 ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the planar unit distance problem. The question posed by the legendary Hungarian ...

Company says work on Paul Erdős planar unit distance problem shows advance in AI reasoning OpenAI has claimed a further advance in AI reasoning after its technology successfully tackled an 80-year-old ...
