ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

What happens when one of the most celebrated AI companies in the world stumbles in its quest for innovation? OpenAI’s recent announcement about GPT-5 solving the notoriously complex Erdos problems ...

Just days after OpenAI said one of its AI models had cracked the famous "planar unit distance problem" first posed by legendary mathematician Paul Erdos in 1946, researchers at Google DeepMind have ...

For decades, elite mathematicians have struggled to solve a collection of thorny problems posed by a 20th-century academic named Paul Erdos. This month, an artificial intelligence startup called ...

OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946. Experts say this result could indicate that AI is capable of ...

Mathematician Thomas Bloom, runs erdosproblems.com, explains that OpenAI surfaced erdos problem solutions that were not unsolved. OpenAI GPT-5 simply surfaced existing papers solving them that he had ...

For nearly 80 years, a famous problem in discrete geometry had challenged mathematicians. All it took was a prompt from an internal OpenAI model to disprove a conjecture made by the late Hungarian ...

The question sounds trivial until you realize the hard part was never counting. It was deciding what counts. Often, AI fails to answer questions like these. These are known as “Erdős problems,” named ...
