AI Just Solved a 350-Year-Old Math Problem By Writing the Longest Proof Ever
Anthropic says its Claude AI just wrote the longest math proof ever made, and used it to formally prove Fermat's Last Theorem, a problem that stumped mathematicians for 358 years. Claude did it in 11 days, mostly on its own, producing 13 million lines of code that a computer can check line by line, instead of just taking a mathematician's word for it.
