OpenAI's internal AI model just solved an 80-year-old math problem — and mathematicians verified it
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (327+ words) The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle. An artificial intelligence (AI) model has solved an 80-year-old math problem…...
Scientists trained an AI model using an IBM quantum computer — and it answered questions correctly that the base model couldn't
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (848+ words) When running an AI model through a quantum computer, scientists have increased accuracy by only adding a relatively small number of parameters. Researchers have developed a method to reduce uncertainty in artificial intelligence (AI) systems by tapping into the power…...
Can AI really simulate human thinking? Research casts doubt on an influential study, suggesting an advanced model was just really good at memorizing patterns.
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (808+ words) A study published in July 2025 claimed the Centaur AI model could simulate and predict human behavior with astonishing accuracy. A counter study raises doubts. Researchers have cast doubt on an influential 2025 study that claimed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model…...
How can we prevent AI models from cannibalizing themselves when human-generated data runs out? Scientists say they've found the answer.
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (578+ words) Researchers have found that introducing human-made data into AI training can help to prevent AI model collapse. While the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has shown no sign of slowing, there's a growing concern that large language models (LLMs)…...
