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 closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

If OpenAI's new model can solve grade-school math, it could pave the way for more powerful systems. This story is from The Algorithm, our weekly newsletter on AI. To get stories like this in your ...

A mathematical model has now cracked the exact degree to which one should be ambitious and unlike conventional wisdom, it ...
