AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic are demonstrating remarkable capabilities in solving complex mathematical problems. OpenAI's models have recently found counterexamples to long-standing conjectures like Erdős's unit distance conjecture and provided proofs for problems such as the Cycle Double Cover and Navier-Stokes equations. Anthropic's models have also contributed by formalizing Fermat's Last Theorem and advancing bounds on the Riemann Hypothesis. This surge in mathematical prowess raises questions about the nature of AI problem-solving, including identifying problem characteristics that make them tractable for LLMs and understanding how AI's approach differs from human methods.
