Erdős Problems Emerge as New Frontier Math Benchmark for AI Models

Researchers are turning to unsolved Erdős problems as AI math benchmarks — and OpenAI reportedly used an unreleased internal model, not GPT-5.5, to tackle them.

Erdős problems — famously difficult open questions posed by the prolific mathematician Paul Erdős — are becoming a new benchmark for evaluating frontier AI models' mathematical reasoning, as @haider1 reported. The shift reflects growing dissatisfaction with existing math benchmarks that top models have saturated.
