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 ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.

In October 2024, news broke that Facebook parent company Meta had cracked an "impossible" problem that had stymied mathematicians for a century. In this case, the solvers weren't human. An artificial ...

24-year-old founder and CEO Carina Hong created Axiom Math in March 2025 and has recruited a team of ten employees, most of whom are from Meta, to build a math-focused AI model. Last fall, Carina Hong ...

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...
