OpenAI Model Solves Erdös Planar Unit Distance Problem
OpenAI announced in a public post, according to Scientific American and Live Science, that an internal AI model produced a proof resolving the planar unit distance problem, a conjecture posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. Scientific American reports that mathematicians including Timothy Gowers and Daniel Litt reviewed the result and described the method as notable; Live Science says OpenAI released the prompt and described the model as a general-purpose reasoning model rather than a math-specific system. Singularity Hub and other coverage note follow-up work by human mathematicians and parallel results from other labs. Sources differ on technical details, but coverage frames this as the first AI-generated proof of this visibility and rigor, and as a milestone for mathematical AI research.

OpenAI builds conversation-based ad engine challenging search
Business Insider reports that early data show OpenAI is experimenting with conversation-targeted ads inside ChatGPT, and that this approach could become a significant new revenue stream. According to Similarweb executive Heral Amir, hundreds of companies, including HubSpot, Dick's Sporting Goods, Nordstrom, Cursor, and Indeed, have bought early ChatGPT ad placements, and Amir describes the ads as targeting "conversational intent" rather than keywords. "When search was dominant, advertisers bought intent through keywords," Amir told Business Insider. Business Insider frames this shift as potentially challenging Google's search advertising model because ChatGPT can surface commercial opportunities later in a multi-turn conversation, even when the user never typed a product-related query. Editorial analysis: If sustained, conversation-driven targeting would change how advertisers capture intent and how platforms price ads.

macOS Flags ChatGPT App, Reinstallation Restores Notarization
Mac users have reported that macOS's built-in malware blocker, Xprotect, flagged the ChatGPT desktop app as malware and moved it to the Trash, according to reporting from MacTrast and Forbes. MacTrast cites an OpenAI blog post explaining that OpenAI replaced the macOS notarization certificate after "a security issue involving a third-party developer tool, Axios," and that older app builds that predate the new certificate are no longer notarized. Malwarebytes reports a separate but related threat: a convincing fake download site, openew[.]app, has been distributing Windows credential stealers and a macOS strain named Odyssey Stealer to users who download non-official installers. MacTrast and OpenAI note that reinstalling or updating the ChatGPT app from OpenAI's official download page (or the Microsoft Store for Windows) restores a notarized, launchable app. Editorial analysis: This incident combines legitimate notarization changes and active adversary impersonation, creating both false-positive blocking and real malware risk for users.
