We propose Pi-GPS, a novel framework for geometry problem solving that leverages diagrammatic information to resolve textual ambiguities. Our approach combines multi-modal understanding with symbolic ...

Here's the thing about math that nobody tells you: it's less about memorizing formulas and more about knowing which tools to reach for. By fourteen, students should have a problem-solving toolkit that ...

That’s how Meta’s chief AI scientist Yann LeCun described the blowback after OpenAI researchers did a victory lap over GPT-5’s supposed math breakthroughs. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis added, ...

24-year-old founder and CEO Carina Hong created Axiom Math in March 2025 and has recruited a team of ten employees, most of whom are from Meta, to build a math-focused AI model. Last fall, Carina Hong ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

When the digital revolution first hit classrooms in the early 2010s—and more schools began issuing laptops or tablets to students for individual use—online learning seemed to promise a faster, easier ...

Time to test your brain! Are you a puzzle person? Most of these hard math problems aren’t straightforward arithmetic. They challenge you to look at problems a different way, testing your logic and ...

We have selected seven stories from this week’s news across Hong Kong, mainland China, the wider Asia region and beyond that resonated with our readers and shed light on topical issues. If you would ...

In a breakthrough leap for artificial intelligence (AI), Google’s AlphaGeometry2 has beaten human gold medalists at the renowned International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The math solver AI solved 84 ...
