OpenAI announced this week that one of its general-purpose reasoning models made a breakthrough that has grabbed the ...

On May 20, OpenAI said an internal reasoning model had produced a counterexample to Paul Erdős’s 1946 unit distance ...

OpenAI is claiming its internal general-purpose reasoning model may have disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a longstanding question in discrete geometry. Outside review is central to that ...

Performances in N.Y.C. Advertisement Supported by The actress stars as a haunted genius opposite Don Cheadle as her father in David Auburn’s 2001 drama. This revival, though, exposes the play’s lack ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

One of the most bitterly contested proofs in modern mathematics may be on the verge of being untangled. Two projects, both aiming to use a computer program to cast new light on the controversy, are ...

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, ...

Artificial Intelligence 'I violated every principle I was given': AI agent deletes company's entire database in 9 seconds, then confesses Quantum Computing Live 'quantum network' being tested in New ...

In 2024, Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof made history by competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) — solving problems once thought to require purely human creativity. Alex Duong dead: ...

Artificial Intelligence 'I violated every principle I was given': AI agent deletes company's entire database in 9 seconds, then confesses Cancer New AI model spots pancreatic cancer up to 3 years ...

The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians. That is the immediate takeaway from the “First Proof” challenge—perhaps the most robust test yet of the ...
