OpenAI's unreleased Astra model has produced what its October 2025 announcement only pretended to: genuine solutions to ten long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, ...

Sebastien Bubeck of OpenAI says “yes, nonsofic groups exist”—as an example of “many new beautiful results” from Astra, next major OpenAI model. OpenAI published a page and PDF detailing ten advances ...

Alpöge’s discovery is the latest in a string of high-profile mathematical breakthroughs made by large language models. Recent examples include OpenAI’s disproof of the unit distance conjecture, and ...

Thermodynamic computing crossed a credibility threshold this week as peer-reviewed papers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Extropic-MIT project AI energy efficiency gains of up to 100 ...

At first glance, Joan R. Ginther's story sounds almost too extraordinary to be true. The American mathematician, who earned a doctorate in statistics from Stanford University, won four major Texas ...

Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can solve will keep files safe from the quantum computers expected to break much ...

It's a simple word that has developed a sinister connotation: algorithm. For many of us, algorithms help determine what we watch, read and listen to — in the process, confirming our tastes and biases, ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

The EU is threatening to take action against the social media company. It could be the start of a global reckoning. Anyone who has used TikTok for any length of time can attest to the app’s compelling ...

It’s hard to ignore the seismic shifts brought about by algorithm-driven content. Every time you scroll through your social media feed or check your favorite news app, algorithms are diligently at ...
