Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

Physicist Richard Feynman turned a lunch dilemma into a math problem. Researchers finally cracked his notes and found people ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

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.

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...

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

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

PyPy, an alternative runtime for Python, uses a specially created JIT compiler to yield potentially massive speedups over CPython, the conventional Python runtime. But PyPy’s exemplary performance has ...

Mathematician Terence Tao recently described how he used ChatGPT to help solve a math problem on MathOverflow. Tao had a theoretical analysis but needed concrete numbers to check certain inequalities.

From fears about academic dishonesty to declining foundational skills and increased screen time, there’s no shortage of concern about how students use artificial intelligence (AI). While I share many ...

Scala is an excellent option for big data, particularly when complemented with Apache Spark, due to its handling of strong types and functional programming and scalability. Go (Golang) is optimized ...
