Anthropic's Claude Mythos solves landmark Erdős math problem

Anthropic's Claude Mythos has reportedly solved the Erdős unit-distance conjecture, a problem that OpenAI had previously disproven. An engineer stated that Mythos provided a simple proof over the weekend, indicating significant advancements in AI's mathematical capabilities. This development highlights the growing potential for AI to contribute to complex theoretical problems. AI
