Claude solves a nine-loop scattering amplitude problem beyond the eight-loop record
Original titleNew on the Science Blog: Yes, Claude can do Nine Loops.
AISummary
Anthropic reports that Claude solved a nine-loop scattering amplitude problem in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills, surpassing the previous eight-loop record set by SLAC's Lance Dixon and collaborators.
Working largely unsupervised for days from a single prompt, at a total cost of a few thousand dollars, Claude used methods developed by Dixon's group, and Dixon independently verified the result.
AIWhy it matters
The post shows Claude solving a nine-loop physics calculation beyond the previous eight-loop record, verified independently, which bears on AI use in theoretical physics research.
