Claude Fabel 5 disproved the Jacobian conjecture over the weekend, landing days after the capabilities of China's Kimi AI became the biggest force moving bitcoin markets.

The Jacobian conjecture is a long-standing open problem in algebraic geometry that's bedeviled highly accomplished ...

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 ...

Place any number of dots on a two-dimensional plane—say, a piece of paper—and measure the distance between each pair. If you rearrange the dots, how many pairs could be positioned exactly the same ...

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 ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

In new research, mathematicians have narrowed down one of the biggest outstanding problems in math. Huge breakthroughs in math and science are usually the work of many people over many years. Seven ...

OpenAI’s claim that GPT-5 had solved ten of Paul Erdős’s famous “unsolved” math problems has drawn sharp backlash from across the AI industry, after experts revealed the model merely rediscovered ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics. Reading time 10 minutes Will ...
