An OpenAI model announced a breakthrough today on the planar unit distance problem posed by Paul Erdős in 1946; the model discovered a new family of constructions that, contradicting nearly 80 years of square-lattice-based assumptions, gives a better result, and this is the first autonomous AI solution to a prominent open mathematical question.
