Subquadratic has now shared more details about its new model. But some are still skeptical. The Miami-based AI startup Subquadratic came out of stealth mode last month with a huge claim. It announced ...

This month, 30 mathematicians gathered at Harvard University to grade a consequential and difficult problem set. This wasn’t just any test; its outcome would guide a field grappling with existential ...

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 ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
