- Claude made a math breakthrough during an unsuccessful 54-hour attempt to solve the Riemann hypothesis, failing to crack the problem despite the long effort
- Anthropic staffer encouragement helped sustain the run, underscoring that today's top AI models still respond to moral support during extended autonomous research
Why it matters: Anthropic positions Claude and its peers as now superhuman at math, yet the Riemann hypothesis still resisted after 54 hours of continuous work, showing that even frontier models hit hard walls on open math problems.
