A.I. Disproves a Decades-Old Mathematical Idea, the 'Biggest Conjecture' That the Tech Has Played a Role in Yet

Levent Alpège used Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 to find a 3D counterexample, and independent mathematicians later verified the result.

Summary by Smithsonian Mag
A mathematician announced that he used one of Anthropic's A.I. models to find a counterexample to a problem called the Jacobian conjecture. While experts consider it a milestone, the work raises questions about the future of mathematical research
