Rohan PaulXPickClaude Fable 5.2 completes a 23-year-old black-hole calculationAIAnthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 completed a calculation on black hole formation in small universes that physicists had left unfinished since 2003. According to the post, Claude did most of the work largely on its own and found that black holes also form abruptly in those universes. A physicist has reportedly checked the work.
ClaudeOfficialFable 5.2 finds exact limit of simplest modular bootstrappingAIAnthropic says Fable 5.2 found the exact limit of the simplest version of modular bootstrapping, a 15-year-old physics technique. The technique is used to rule out candidate theories of quantum gravity in theoretical universes.
- ClaudeOfficialFable 5.2 finds abrupt black hole transition in small theoretical universes
AIAnthropic's Fable 5.2 found that a black hole transition is abrupt in a set of very small theoretical universes, testing a 2003 calculation. The 1983 result showed such black holes form very abruptly as larger theoretical universes heat up.
- ClaudeOfficialFable 5.2 reportedly solves two open black-hole physics problems
AIAnthropic's account says Fable 5.2 solved two open problems in theoretical physics related to black holes. In the first, the model completed a laborious calculation that had gone unsolved for 23 years.
Andrew CurranXFable 5.2 reportedly solves two open theoretical physics problems autonomouslyAIAndrew Curran says Anthropic's Claude model Fable 5.2 has solved two open problems in theoretical physics, one of them completely autonomously. He predicts all three major AI labs will soon show the results of autonomous research.
