Claude Fable 5.1 cracks 373-year-old cipher in 44 minutes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The AI model Claude Fable 5.1 successfully deciphered the Cyphral Distich, a 373-year-old cryptographic puzzle left by Scottish writer Thomas Urquhart. The model determined that the numbers in the text were instructions, each pointing to a specific word in Urquhart's other works. When these words were combined, they formed a message supporting King Charles II. This feat highlights the rapid problem-solving capabilities of advanced AI compared to centuries of human effort. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI's potential to solve complex historical and cryptographic challenges previously intractable for humans.
