Claude's Fable 5 just solved an 87-year-old math problem, and it matters for bitcoin
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 AI model has solved the long-standing Jacobian conjecture, a significant milestone in mathematical research. This capability leap is influencing financial markets, as investors increasingly shift capital from cryptocurrency toward AI-related infrastructure and computing power.
Why it matters
It demonstrates the growing real-world impact of AI on scientific discovery and its role as a primary driver of current market speculation.
Levent Alpöge, a number theorist who works at Anthropic and previously held a fellowship at Harvard, posted the result on X on Sunday night, crediting the company's Claude Fable 5 model.
The problem, called the Jacobian conjecture, had been open since 1939 and sits on mathematician Stephen Smale's influential list of unsolved problems for the century.
hello there the jacobian conjecture is false thanx to my close friend akhil for asking about it and my other close friend fable for working during the world cup final ((1+xy)^3 z + y^2 (1+xy) (4+3xy), y + 3 x (1+xy)^2 z + 3 x y^2 (4+3xy), 2 x - 3 x^2 y - x^3 z): \C^3\to \C^3,…
