As millions of people were coming down from the excitement of the FIFA World Cup Final at the start of this week, a different kind of excitement was building within the mathematical community. Levent ...

A mathematician announced that he used one of Anthropic's A.I. models to find a counterexample to a problem called the Jacobian conjecture. While experts consider it a milestone, the work raises quest ...

Timothy Gowers calls OpenAI's ten solved problems extraordinarily impressive, then spends 4,000 words on what they are not. The famous results were counterexamples rather than theorems. One of them, ...

Anthropic's AI model, Claude Fable 5, helped mathematician Levent Alpöge find a counterexample disproving the 87-year-old Jacobian conjecture in three dimensions.

In 1976, Appel and Haken proved the Four Color Theorem by reducing it to thousands of cases and checking them mechanically. Mathematicians were uneasy because the computation at the heart of the proof ...

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 ...

A mathematician has cracked an 87-year-old conundrum with the help of AI and announced the solution unceremoniously in a tweet. The finding is the most difficult mathematical problem yet solved by AI, ...

An Anthropic researcher has credited the company's AI model, Claude Fable 5, with helping overturn one of mathematics' longest-standing problems. Levent Alpöge, a mathematician at Anthropic, announced ...
