Anthropic says Claude Fable 5.1 extended a human-designed amplitude-bootstrap workflow to a nine-loop result, with expert validation and extensive checks but without a fully independent end-to-end replication.
Anthropic says Claude agents identified a previously uncharacterized phage-associated reverse-transcriptase system, but has not shown it cuts, targets, edits, or programs DNA.
Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome Atlas, a free one-petabyte database giving predicted molecular effects for all 9 billion possible single-letter changes to the human genome, and says it is not approved for any clinical use.
A day before OpenAI announced its Navier-Stokes result, Terence Tao wrote that the new AI-assisted proofs of finite-time blowup for three fluid equations are a breakthrough with a high likelihood of extending to Navier-Stokes.
Anthropic gave Claude Mythos 5.1 open-source protein design tools and sent its output to outside labs, where nearly 50 percent of its designs across 12 targets bound successfully -- against the 10 to 15 percent hit rate typical of the field.
Caltech's Anima Anandkumar argues that simulating the physical world at industrial resolution implies hundreds of billions to a trillion tokens of context, putting it permanently out of reach for transformers -- and that neural operators, which learn
The canonical public record page for elliptic curve ranks has added a 2026 entry at rank 30 or higher, publishing an explicit curve with 30 independent points, and the attribution credits Claude alongside two named researchers, though no primary sour
Large Discovery Models pair a generative proposer with a Bayesian surrogate that scores candidates from real experimental evidence rather than model confidence, reporting a 2.4 times greater reduction in a training metric and an 18.2 percent relative
Anthropic said on August 18 that Claude designed minibinders against 15 protein targets and succeeded on 14, with hit rates of 26.7 and 22.6 percent against the 10 to 15 percent typical of protein design campaigns, validated by two independent contra
An unreleased research version of Claude raised the proven lower bound on the fraction of Riemann zeta zeros lying on the critical line from 41.6 percent to 67.2 percent, and Anthropic published the paper and a machine-checked Lean proof on August 10
A case study from seven researchers documents how an AI system helped tighten the best known bounds on the Grothendieck constant, and reports plainly that the system was strong at technical execution but weak at research judgment and at tracking wher
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released Science: A New Golden Age on July 21, proposing to reorient federal research around individual investigators, fast grants, AI-ready data and automated labs - an agenda-setting document
