There’s a $1-million prize for proving the Riemann hypothesis. Claude couldn’t pull that off, but it made significant progress on a related problem ...

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. In a blog ...

A million-dollar math mystery may someday be resolved in a physics lab. A new study brings this vision one step closer.

Disproving the Jacobian conjecture marks the latest high-profile win in a historic year for frontier AI models in theoretical mathematics. (Image created with AI) An Anthropic researcher just gave ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

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 ...

The Trusts Arena in Henderson became a showcase of extraordinary young talent on Sunday as more than 250 of New Zealand and Australia's brightest young math minds gathered for the SIP Abacus ANZ ...

The Jacobian conjecture is a long-standing open problem in algebraic geometry that's bedeviled highly accomplished mathematicians for almost 90 years. It was included in "Smale's problems," a list of ...

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 long-standing mathematical conundrum has been solved by ChatGPT in a few hours, with only a few simple prompts. The Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture is a 30-year-old question in graph theory, but a ...
