A general-purpose reasoning model, not a math-trained system, produced a new family of point configurations that broke Paul ...

Top artificial intelligence systems now ace many textbook-style math questions, yet they still fall apart on genuinely new problems. The gap between polished performance on familiar benchmarks and ...

OpenAI says an internal model autonomously cracked an 80-year-old math problem, raising new questions about AI's research ...

Artificial intelligence systems may be good at generating text, recognizing images, and even solving basic math problems—but when it comes to advanced mathematical reasoning, they are hitting a wall.

How do machine learning models do what they do? And are they really “thinking” or “reasoning” the way we understand those things? This is a philosophical question as much as a practical one, but a new ...

Mathematics, like many other scientific endeavors, is increasingly using artificial intelligence. Of course, math is the backbone of AI, but mathematicians are also turning to these tools for tasks ...

If you’re a hacker you may well have a passing interest in math, and if you have an interest in math you might like to hear about the direction of mathematical research. In a talk on this topic [Kevin ...

Over the weekend, Neel Somani, who is a software engineer, former quant researcher, and a startup founder, was testing the math skills of OpenAI’s new model when he made an unexpected discovery. After ...
