OpenAI's Model Disproves Long-Standing Geometry Conjecture
OpenAI researchers used a neural network to find a counterexample to the Hadwiger-Nelson problem, a 70-year-old conjecture in discrete geometry that had resisted human proof attempts.

OpenAI has used machine learning to solve a problem that mathematicians have pursued for seven decades. Researchers at the lab discovered a counterexample to the Hadwiger-Nelson conjecture, a foundational question in discrete geometry about the chromatic number of the plane.
The Hadwiger-Nelson pro...
