Dozens of Claude agents wrote 13 million lines of Lean in 11 days to produce the first computer-checked proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The mathematician funded to do the same work says it tells us ...

Anthropic published the first complete computer-checked formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem on September 4, 2026 — a task the mathematical community had expected to take years of coordinated human ...

AI company Anthropic has created a formalised proof of Fermat’s last theorem. It took just 11 days for a group of AI agents to complete the task, confirming that the human-found proof proposed in the ...

Imagine screening 10,000 apparently healthy people for a disease that affects one person in a thousand. Let’s further assume the test is fairly good: 99% sensitive and 99% specific. (In case it’s been ...

As artificial intelligence reshapes software development, a small startup is betting that the industry's next big bottleneck won't be writing code — it will be trusting it. "We're already there," said ...

Mathematicians have long relied on a theorem that appears undeniably true, yet every attempt to formally prove it collapses. The contradiction has puzzled researchers for decades, raising questions ...

Large language models (LLMs) have astounded the world with their capabilities, yet they remain plagued by unpredictability and hallucinations – confidently outputting incorrect information. In ...

Researchers celebrate 10th anniversary of gravitational wave discovery, announce verification of a Hawking theorem. Two black holes spiral together and violently merge in this simulation of an event ...
