Claude computes a nine-loop physics amplitude that experts had not reached
Yes, Claude can do Nine Loops
AI summary
Anthropic researchers used Claude Science to compute the nine-loop six-particle amplitude in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills, a toy-model result that physicist Lance Dixon checked. The work reportedly cost roughly one or two thousand dollars, with about $100 of compute for the bootstrap calculation, and a similar result was reached by Song He's group.
Why it matters
The guest post shows a frontier physics calculation done with modest compute, which helps readers gauge what current AI can handle in research and what it still cannot.
