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 ...

This month, American moviegoers will watch Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in “Pressure,” alone in a storm-lashed Portsmouth headquarters in June 1944, weighing weather ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

Company says work on Paul Erdős planar unit distance problem shows advance in AI reasoning OpenAI has claimed a further advance in AI reasoning after its technology successfully tackled an 80-year-old ...

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 October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Goldbach’s conjecture sounds almost too simple: every even number greater than two should be the sum of two primes. Mathematicians have chased it for nearly 300 years, a publisher once offered $1 ...

OpenAI Group PBC today launched a new large language model that is significantly better than its predecessors at solving math problems and writing code. GPT-5.5 is rolling out a week after rival ...

Katelyn is a reporter with CNET covering artificial intelligence, including chatbots, image and video generators. Her work explores how new AI technology is infiltrating our lives, shaping the content ...

Debates over how geometry is understood and learned date back at least to the days of Plato, with more recent scholars concluding that only humans possess the foundations of this understanding.

A Polish mathematician who once described artificial intelligence as “a very advanced calculator” has been left stunned after an AI model managed to solve a research-level mathematics problem he spent ...
