The Millennium Prize breakthrough is proof of AI’s accelerating and terrifying progress ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

An internal model more powerful than GPT-6 Astra produced a proposed solution to one of mathematics’ seven Millennium Prize Problems, though questions are emerging over how independently it got there.

AI just solved one of the world’s hardest math problems.

The company’s announcement is the most dramatic sign yet that artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the field of higher mathematics.

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

The company’s announcement has been dogged by questions about whether it improperly used work from another research team or sought to deny credit — allegations OpenAI denies.

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...
