$1000 Challenge Skyrockets in Difficulty, Stunning Human Record Holder

The calculation results of Claude are personally verified by the previous record holder.

Zhidx September 26 News, in the early hours of today, Anthropic announced that Claude has achieved a major theoretical physics breakthrough, running for several days at a cost of thousands of dollars with almost no human supervision , and completed the nine-loop calculation of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory .

The previous record holder for this difficult problem is Lance Dixon from the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, who completed the solution of the eight-loop amplitude in 2023 . Claude's calculation results are also verified by Dixon . In the blog, he stated that he previously believed that direct solution was almost impossible to achieve, so he felt extremely shocked by what Claude has accomplished.
