Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...
OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...
AI math proof verification reached a new frontier as DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved nine open Erdős research problems with Lean-verified proofs, some unsolved for 56 years. The May 2026 Science Ne ...
At a secret meeting in 2025, some of the world's leading mathematicians gathered to test OpenAI's newest large language model, o4-mini. Experts at the meeting were amazed by how much the model's ...
New computer tools have the potential to revolutionize the practice of mathematics by providing more-reliable proofs of mathematical results than have ever been possible in the history of humankind.
Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.
Number theorist Andrew Granville on what mathematics really is — and why objectivity is never quite within reach. In 2012, the mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki claimed he had solved the abc conjecture ...
Computers make it possible for a mathematical proof to run as long as several thousand full-length novels combined. But human beings alone cannot verify such immense proofs. That, according to Ian ...
