Chinese AI Solves 2014 Math Problem, Researchers Claim

4/13/2026

Summary

Story summary

A Chinese AI framework autonomously solved a 2014 mathematical problem proposed by U.S. mathematician Dan Anderson.
A team from Peking University published a preprint on April 4 stating the AI synthesized decades of literature to resolve Anderson's conjecture.
The researchers claim the framework bridged natural language reasoning and formal verification, enabling the formalization of the proof with minimal human input, while noting the work is not yet peer reviewed.
