The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

A 23‑year‑old amateur maths enthusiast, Liam Price, used ChatGPT‑5.4 Pro to solve one of Erdős’s long‑standing “primitive set” problems, which had remained unresolved since the early 1960s.
