Quantum entanglement is key to solving a 250-year-old mathematical puzzle – and the discovery could ultimately help build quantum computers that are more resilient to errors. In the 1700s, according ...

Anthropic says an unreleased Claude model produced a potentially new mathematical result while attempting to solve the famous Riemann hypothesis.

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 ...

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. Anthropic hasn't solved it — but the company's models made more progress than you might ...

OpenAI showed that AI can tackle long-standing problems in mathematics. Experts are excited about the possibilities — and worried about what comes next for their field.

Months of planning, a remote swamp route and a remarkable discovery helped this determined hunter turn a grueling challenge into victory.
