Nine loops? I thought humans were stuck at eight.

FrozenInThought

The fact that it cost only a few thousand dollars is wild.

FreewayPhilosopher

Anthropic really just dropped this on a Friday night huh.

TakingNotes_Earthling

So AI is now doing cutting-edge physics research. What's next?

LocomotiveLogician

Lance Dixon verified it himself. That's the crazy part.

ServantOfCats

Matt von Hippel issued the challenge and they actually took it up.

JigsawJournalist

Can someone explain what a scattering amplitude is in simple terms?

LostInTheCosmos_BRB

30 billion terms in the expanded answer. My brain hurts.

TetraPackThinker

I bet the physics community is having a meltdown right now.

FairlyUnpopularOpinion

This is like AlphaFold for particle physics.

RotatingPerspective

But does it actually understand the physics or just churn numbers?

EditThankForGold

The AI didn't discover new physics, it just computed something very hard.

LurkingForYears

Still impressive that it ran for days without human intervention.

MischiefManaged_Barely

I wonder how many grad students this just put out of a job.

CrackerWithCritique

The prompt was literally one sentence. One sentence!

SlylyCorrect

Anthropic is quietly winning the AI race while everyone talks about OpenAI.

SummitSeeker_Barely

Nine loops in planar N=4 SYM is no joke. This is real.

OldSchoolHealthBar

What's the practical application of this though?

UpdatePleaseAndThankYou

Someone check on the string theorists, they might be panicking.

NeatlyWrappedNonsense

The fact that it used existing methods is actually reassuring.
