Let’s start here: math’s most famous problem is no closer to being solved than it was a week ago. Neither humans nor artificial intelligence have made progress on the Riemann hypothesis. But AI did ...

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 ...

OpenAI Group PBC revealed Saturday that an internal version of Astra, the model family it calls its next major release, produced new results for 10 problems in mathematics and theoretical computer ...

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 ...

A mathematician working at Anthropic says he used the AI model Claude Fable 5 to uncover a remarkably simple counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture, a famous problem that has resisted ...

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 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, ...

For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world, we’re forever crunching calculations in pursuit of deeper numerical knowledge. Some math problems have been challenging us for centuries—but ...

OpenAI says its unreleased Astra model solved ten open maths problems, shipping Lean proofs on GitHub for roughly $2,000 in compute OpenAI says an internal version of its next major model, called ...

Veronica Beagle is the managing editor for Education at Forbes Advisor. She completed her master’s in English at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. Before ...
