Artificial intelligence has been inching toward genuine mathematical discovery for years, but a claim from OpenAI in early August 2026 pushed the story into new territory. The company said its latest ...

For more than 150 years, the Riemann hypothesis has stood as one of the major unsolved problems in mathematics, a long-running mystery about the distribution of prime numbers. There is currently a $1 ...

The Riemann hypothesis claims that the locations of prime numbers along the infinite number line all adhere to a beautiful and orderly but obscure formula. Yet 167 years after German mathematician ...

On May 20, 2026, OpenAI made an announcement that shook the mathematical world. An internal AI model — one not available to the public — had come up with a counterexample to the “unit distance” ...

OpenAI's latest revelation just shows how much AI is advancing literally every week. OpenAI's unreleased AI model Astra solved 10 complex problems in math and quantum science Astra generated proofs ...

OpenAI has revealed Astra, an unreleased model designed to tackle complex, long-running tasks, after an internal version produced ten significant advances in mathematics and theoretical computer ...

OpenAI's unreleased Astra model has produced what its October 2025 announcement only pretended to: genuine solutions to ten long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Toronto Blue Jays are probably going to end up buying before the MLB trade deadline. The American League is weak, and coming off a season in which they played until Game 7 of the World Series, the ...
