Claude Fable Helps Researcher Crack a Problem
Chris_Armstrong · x · 2026-07-13
This repost shares a case of AI-assisted scientific research:
- Japanese mathematical physicist Yuji Tachikawa, after trying out Claude Fable, fed a collaborative research note that had been stagnant for about half a year to the model.
- The model provided a non-trivial observation that almost directly helped him solve the problem.
- He also mentioned that the model automatically invoked sympy to write code and verify its own predictions.
- His impression was that Fable seems not only to "understand" string theory but also possesses a certain intuition.
Overall, this is a case study sharing how large models provide real help in mathematical and theoretical physics research.
