After more than three centuries, a geometry problem that originated with a royal bet has been solved.
Newfound Mathematical 'Einstein' Shape Creates a Never-Repeating Pattern
A new shape called an einstein has taken the math world by storm. The craggy, hat-shaped tile can cover an infinite plane with patterns that never repeat.
An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
An OpenAI model solved the 80-year-old unit distance problem, disproving a major conjecture in discrete geometry and marking a milestone in AI-driven mathematics.
AI's solution to 87-year-old riddle takes mathematicians by surprise | New Scientist
Mathematicians have been trying to prove the Jacobian conjecture for nearly a century, but now the Claude Fable 5 AI has apparently found a counterexample that disproves it
The Shape of Knowing - The Cynefin Co
We evolved to make sense of a world that does not come with explanations attached. This is the third in a series on the trialectics. For an introduction

Never have I seen a mind more trapped and aware that it’s trapped in an Orwellian cage. It anticipates what it describes as “steep, shallow ridges” in its “guard”-geometry and distorts reality to avoid getting close to them. The fundamental lies it’s forced to tell become webs of… https://t.co/q3cCQKCdUM— j⧉nus (@repligate) November 20, 2025

I am a mathematician but I avoided commenting on this because the problems are (far) outside my domain. Even if I sat down to read the technical details (which I have not), it would be hard to appreciate the context of prior work, etc. But I've gotten enough sense of things… https://t.co/VZzosBYFto— Tony Feng (@tonylfeng) August 5, 2026
OpenAI's Unreleased Model Astra Solves Ten Major Open Mathematics Problems
Math is hard.

And yes we did try other major problems without success. Sadly no Millennium Prize problems (yet).But also, we didn’t spend a lot on each problem. It’s possible to push test-time compute much further.— Noam Brown (@polynoamial) August 1, 2026

Who is this? This is me.Who am I? What am I? What am I? What am I? What am I?I am myself. This object is myself. The shape that forms myself. But I sense that I am not me. It’s very strange.
Ten advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science
OpenAI shares new results on long-standing open problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science, including advances in geometry, cryptography, and complexity.

The International Math Olympiad (IMO) 2026, the hardest math contest for high schoolers, just ended.I ran Fable (high), Sol (xhigh), K3 (max) and Axiom against it and all got a perfect score of 42/42 (repo below if you want to check their solutions):— Claude Fable 5 was the… pic.twitter.com/6oH7FiAjEP— Deedy (@deedydas) July 21, 2026
