OpenAI has said that Astra, a model it has not yet released publicly, produced solutions to ten long-open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, each of which had resisted proof for a decade or more.

There is a $1 million bounty for the first person providing a solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem.

AI tools helped solve around 100 extant problems left behind by one of the 20th century's greatest mathematicians. Hungarian Paul Erdős proposed 1,179 conjectures — unproved math statements, such as "For every n ≥ 2, you can write 4/n as the sum of ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance along curved surfaces. While working on one theorem, they ...

For more than 150 years, the Riemann hypothesis has stood as one of the major unsolved problems in mathematics. Anthropic hasn't solved it — but the company's models made more progress than you might expect.

Some math problems are as old as the wind, experts say and many remain truly unsolved. But a new open source-based site from the American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) looks to help track work done and solve long-standing and difficult math problems.

Artificial intelligence has been inching toward genuine mathematical discovery for years, but a claim from OpenAI in early August 2026 pushed the story into new territory. The company said its latest model, named Astra, solved ten previously unsolved ...

Whether those accusations are true or not, the episode may mark a turning point in the history of mathematics. AI models now seem essential for making progress on the field’s most important problems,
