The best-yet test of artificial intelligence’s mathematical mettle has released its first official round of results. The verdict is that large language models (LLMs) are emerging as useful—albeit ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

Yang-Hui He is a fellow at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences in London, UK. Among mathematicians and theoretical physicists, artificial intelligence provokes a range of reactions. Some ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...

With automated proof-checkers, a problem can be broken up into small chunks, solved bit-by-bit, then reassembled with confidence that every piece is correct. For some, this heralds a new area in ...

SECURING THE BEST AI IN THE WORLD FOR AMERICA’S DEFENDERS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the National Security ...

For nearly eight decades, some of the sharpest minds in mathematics stared at a deceptively simple question about dots on a flat surface and couldn’t crack it. An AI just did. OpenAI announced that ...

The percentage of failing grades in multiple UC Berkeley computer science classes in spring 2026 is significantly higher than past semesters and marks a departure from the department’s grading ...

Depuis la plainte déposée par Flavie Flament et les nombreuses révélations publiées par Mediapart ce 1er juin, la parole se libère autour de Patrick Bruel. Parmi les récits exhumés figure celui d'une ...

Place any number of dots on a two-dimensional plane—say, a piece of paper—and measure the distance between each pair. If you rearrange the dots, how many pairs could be positioned exactly the same ...
