An unreleased version of Anthropic's Claude AI has made significant progress on a problem related to the Riemann hypothesis. While it did not solve the famous conjecture, Claude improved a longstanding lower bound for the fraction of zeros of the Riemann zeta function that satisfy the hypothesis, increasing it from 41.6% to 67.2%. This advancement, validated by mathematicians, showcases the growing mathematical capabilities of AI models, though Anthropic does not expect these specific techniques to lead to a proof of the Riemann hypothesis itself.
