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.

Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős’ ‘planar unit distance conjecture’ has stood since 1946 – but an AI disproof has made ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...

OpenAI's AI model solved the famous unit distance problem, a question that had challenged mathematicians since 1946 ...

OpenAI had generated plenty of buzz by coming up with a breakthrough for an 80-year-old Erdős problem, but Anthropic now says that ...
