Mathematician Levent Alpöge, in collaboration with Anthropic, used the Claude Fable 5 AI model to solve a decades-old puzzle [1]. The team successfully identified a simple counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture, a problem that has remained unsolved for 87 years [2].
This discovery proves the mathematical conjecture false in three dimensions and above [1]. The event marks a significant milestone in AI-assisted theoretical mathematics, demonstrating the ability of large language models to tackle complex abstract proofs [2].
