On the last day of August, a human mathematician kicked off a flurry of advances on one of the most famous problems in number theory — and was almost instantly superseded by AI. Julia Stadlmann of the ...

AI company Anthropic has created a formalised proof of Fermat’s last theorem. It took just 11 days for a group of AI agents to complete the task, confirming that the human-found proof proposed in the ...

Pierre de Fermat scribbled a note in the margin of a math textbook in 1637, claiming he had a proof that was too large to fit in the space. It took 358 years for a human to actually prove him right.
