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 ...

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 ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

Google DeepMind said AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős problems using Lean-verified proofs. The claim has sharpened debate over hallucinations in AI maths and what counts as real progress ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...
