Anthropic has revealed that an unpublished research version of its AI model, Claude, was used to explore solutions for the Riemann hypothesis. While Claude did not fully solve the hypothesis, it significantly advanced existing records by proving that at least two-thirds of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line. Notably, the human involvement in this research was minimal, primarily consisting of encouraging messages like "keep going" and "believe in yourself," which reportedly helped Claude overcome initial skepticism.
