Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

Is the inside of a vision model at all like a language model? Researchers argue that as the models grow more powerful, they ...

Nvidia’s new lineup of open-source AI models is headlined by Alpamayo 1 (pictured), a so-called VLA, or ...

These days, large language models can handle increasingly complex tasks, writing complex code and engaging in sophisticated ...

A formula developed by Richard Gott estimates humanity may have between 5,100 and 7.8 million years left based on statistical modeling of past durations. Donald Trump impeachment chances surge amid ...

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the significance of mathematical modelling in decision-making and the limited capacity in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Thus, we ...

While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...

The Black-Scholes model estimates the fair value of European-style options using five key inputs. Model assumptions include no dividends and a constant risk-free interest rate, among others. Use an ...

Large language models have made impressive strides in mathematical reasoning by extending their Chain-of-Thought (CoT) processes—essentially “thinking longer” through more detailed reasoning steps.

A few months before the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in July, a three-person team at OpenAI made a long bet that they could use the competition’s brutally tough problems to train an ...
