In May 2026, OpenAI released a new math result that sent shock waves throughout the world of mathematical research. A major unsolved problem called the "unit distance conjecture" had just been ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In 2011, as Cuyahoga County government underwent its biggest overhaul in more than a century, inaugural County Council member Dale Miller faced a critical task: writing procurement ...

OpenAI just used its new large language model GPT-5.6 Sol to solve a math problem that humans have struggled with for more than a half-century. And all it took was telling the artificial intelligence ...

The Jacobian conjecture is a long-standing open problem in algebraic geometry that's bedeviled highly accomplished mathematicians for almost 90 years. It was included in "Smale's problems," a list of ...

An Anthropic AI model, Claude Fable 5, helped disprove the 87-year-old Jacobian conjecture, a famous open problem in mathematics dating to 1939. The model produced a concrete counterexample that ...

A young mathematician teamed up with a new AI model to tackle one of the hardest open problems in mathematics, and the result is causing a stir among mathematicians and AI researchers on X. Levent ...
