The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.

Google’s latest milestone comes just days after OpenAI said one of its AI models cracked the famous “planar unit distance problem”, which had been unsolved for the last 80 years.
