A mathematician used Fable 5 to disprove a major math problem
Mathematician Levent Alpge claims to have used Anthropic's Fable 5 AI model to disprove the long-standing Jacobian conjecture. Experts remain skeptical, noting that while AI is useful for searching for counterexamples, this does not necessarily represent a fundamental shift in mathematical understanding.
Why it matters
This event tests the boundaries of AI's capability to contribute to high-level academic research and theoretical mathematics.
While the rest of the world was watching the World Cup on Sunday evening, mathematician Levent Alp ge casually announced on X that he had used Anthropic's Fable 5 to disprove the Jacobian conjecture.
