~700 Erdős conjectures: 4 solved, 9 found already solved, per DeepMind
Gemini on ~700 “open” Erdős conjectures: 4 solved, 9 forgotten solutions found
The gist
Google DeepMind (24 researchers) reported in January 2026 that Gemini went through about 700 Erdős conjectures labelled open: 4 solved, 9 forgotten solutions found. Status not yet evaluated.
DiscoverIA status on October 11, 2026: not evaluated, meaning no third-party evaluation found.

What it changes
An Erdős conjecture is an open mathematics question posed by Erdős. If the tally holds, the AI would have done two things: solve a small number of questions, and above all find answers already published but forgotten, which helps keep the list of truly open questions up to date.
What remains unclear
The source (Quanta Magazine) states that 9 of the results are rediscoveries of existing solutions, so they are not new discoveries. The arXiv preprint identifier was not recorded and no outside verifier is named.
