Anthropic's Internal Model Solves Hadamard Matrix of Order 668, Widening Research Gap
Luuigi · reddit · 2026-08-13
An Anthropic researcher successfully solved the Hadamard matrix of order 668 using their internal model. The author highlights that this massive acceleration implies normal researchers outside frontier labs won't be able to compete, as AI labs will always stay 2-3 steps ahead with their proprietary models.
