Scientist Says Claude Helped Solve Research Bottleneck
CatAstro_Piyush · x · 2026-07-13
A repost mentions that mathematical physicist Yuji Tachikawa recently tried Claude Fable in his research. After asking for suggestions on a long-stalled collaborative project, the model offered a non-trivial observation that helped him "essentially solve the problem."
He also noted that the model uses sympy to automatically write code and verify its own predictions, making it feel like more than just a "chatbot"—it seems to possess a certain intuition for string theory. This example highlights that the way scientific research is conducted is entering a new phase.
