Claude Solves Nine-Loop Calculation in Planar N=4 Super Yang-Mills
The striking part is the cost: a calculation that once took specialist teams years now ran for a few thousand dollars of compute from a single unsupervised model run. Theoretical physicists and AI researchers should watch this as a benchmark for scientific reasoning workloads, and verify replication details on Anthropic's blog. Kevin Weil's amplification also signals how quickly US labs are positioning frontier models as physics research tools.
