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 ...

OpenAI’s Astra generates machine‑checkable proofs for ten decades‑old math problems, showing how verified AI can cut discovery costs to about two thousand dollars.

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 ...

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 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 ...
