As a result, researchers are exploring ways to embed better logic into AI. The goal isn’t so much to make LLMs smarter; it’s ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

GPT just keeps getting better at mathematics, increasingly solving the trickiest of problems. In January, AI testing company Epoch AI found that a previous version of the AI model, GPT-5.2 Pro had ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

Let's keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.
