Claude Pushes Riemann Zeta Bound From 41.6% to 67.2% in 36 Hours
An unreleased research build of Claude, prompted by a non-mathematician staffer to 'take a real stab' at the Riemann hypothesis, coordinated roughly 60 subagents to produce the largest single-step advance on a longstanding zeta-function bound — validated by outside number theorists and formalized in Lean.
OpenAI says one of its models disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
Disclosed during the May 5 product cycle, the result places a frontier-model research artifact next to a long-standing open problem in mathematics — and gives the lab its strongest pure-research claim of the spring.
