Anthropic's Claude AI solves complex physics problem to nine loops

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Anthropic's Claude AI has successfully computed scattering amplitudes to nine loops in a simplified model of theoretical physics, a feat previously achieved only up to eight loops. This challenge, posed by physicist and science writer Matt von Hippel, aimed to test AI's capability in computationally intensive scientific problems using resources accessible to academics. Claude reportedly solved the problem with minimal human supervision over several days, at a cost of a few thousand dollars, with the result independently verified. AI
