An OpenAI model helped researchers find a counterexample to an 80-year-old Erdős conjecture — a concrete case of AI contributing novel mathematical discovery.
OpenAI model autonomously disproves a 1946 Erdős conjecture; Logical Intelligence's Aleph Prover formalizes the result in Lean 4 — first AI to crack a major open math problem.
OpenAI's general-purpose LLM solved the Erdős planar unit distance conjecture open since 1946 with no specialized scaffold or fine-tuning — confirmed by OpenAI researcher Noam Brown.
Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved 9 Erdős open problems including two open for 56 years, plus 44 OEIS and two decade-spanning math challenges — using Gemini agentic proof search.
OpenAI's general-purpose AI model autonomously disproves an 80-year-old Erdős conjecture, marking the first AI breakthrough on a prominent open problem central to combinatorial geometry.
Google DeepMind's AI co-mathematician hits 48% on FrontierMath Tier 4, setting a new all-AI record on the hardest formal mathematics benchmark available.
OpenAI's GPT-5.4 Pro contributed to solving an Erdős problem open for 60 years — a concrete milestone for AI-assisted frontier mathematics research.
