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

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.

An EdWeek Research Center survey finds that educators see homework as building students' knowledge—and responsibility.

OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved 9 open Erdős problems and proved 44 OEIS conjectures using AI-driven formal ...

Claude Sonnet 4, and Gemini 2.5 Pro dynamically — no hardcoded pipelines, fewer tokens than competing frameworks.

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics makes the argument that teachers, principals, and district leaders must “stay up to date on current AI trends” to prepare students for the future. But ...

Guests at Agape House relaxed outdoors on a recent unseasonably warm afternoon. Just down Harrison Road from the homeless shelter, what appeared to be a drug deal was underway. Several people stopped ...

Quantum computers are already here, but they make far too many errors. This is arguably the biggest obstacle to the technology really becoming useful, but recent breakthroughs suggest a solution may ...

Some readers may solve the problem procedurally: line up the two numbers, add the ones column, carry the one, and add the tens to get 43. Others might instead notice a creative shortcut: 29 + 14 is ...
