Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

Have you heard of Cleo?

Cleo was an account on Math Stack Exchange that was infamous for dropping the answer to the most difficult integrals with no explanation...

often mere minutes after the question was asked!!

For years, no one knew who Cleo was, UNTIL NOW!

John Conway’s “Doomsday” rule observes that that every year, the dates

4/4, 6/6, 8/8, 10/10, 12/12, 5/9, 9/5, 7/11, 11/7

fall on the same day of the week. In 2025 all these dates fall on a Friday.
