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

There’s a $1-million prize for proving the Riemann hypothesis. Claude couldn’t pull that off, but it made significant progress on a related problem ...

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 ...

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 ...

Bitcoin miners don't solve complex math problems - they guess numbers. While "solving mathematical puzzles" has become a common description of bitcoin mining, the process more closely resembles a ...

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 ...

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 ...
