A new benchmark pitting AI against previously unseen maths problems shows systems still fall short of top human expertise.

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

Earlier this month an artificial intelligence (AI) startup announced that their AI agent had confirmed a proof of two cases of the devilishly challenging "higher dimensional sphere-packing problem." ...

Five years ago, mathematicians Dawei Chen and Quentin Gendron were trying to untangle a difficult area of algebraic geometry involving differentials, elements of calculus used to measure distance ...

This study introduces MathEval, a comprehensive benchmarking framework designed to systematically evaluate the mathematical reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Addressing key ...

As software systems grow more complex and AI tools generate code faster than ever, a fundamental problem is getting worse: Engineers are drowning in debugging work, spending up to half their time ...

The New York State Education Department is pushing new math guidelines, including a recommendation that teachers stop giving timed quizzes — because it stresses students out. The new guidelines also ...

Singapore-based AI startup Sapient Intelligence has developed a new AI architecture that can match, and in some cases vastly outperform, large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, all ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the economics of AI. What looks like intelligence in AI models may just be memorization. A closer look at benchmarks ...

Microsoft has introduced a new set of small language models called Phi-4-reasoning, Phi-4-reasoning-plus, and Phi-4-mini-reasoning, which are described as "marking a new era for efficient AI." These ...

There’s a curious contradiction at the heart of today’s most capable AI models that purport to “reason”: They can solve routine math problems with accuracy, yet when faced with formulating deeper ...
