In 2026, large models achieved remarkable progress in mathematics. OpenAI's internal model disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture and solved long-standing problems like the Cycle Double Cover and Navier-Stokes equations. Meanwhile, Anthropic formalized Fermat's Last Theorem and advanced bounds on Riemann's hypothesis, signaling a paradigm shift from computational aid to autonomous mathematical discovery.

    • OpenAI models solved or disproved multiple mathematical conjectures open since 1946 (e.g., Erdős unit distance, CDC, Navier-Stokes) within 2026.
    • Anthropic achieved a formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem and made new theoretical advances on Riemann's hypothesis bounds.
    • AI is transitioning from a numerical calculation tool to an autonomous entity capable of independent reasoning and mathematical discovery.
