Claude formalizes Fermat's Last Theorem in 11 days, a project granted 5 years to a human mathematician
Singularitarian · x · 2026-09-05
A widely shared post claims Claude completed the largest-ever formalization of Fermat's Last Theorem in just 11 days — a task mathematician Kevin Buzzard had a 5-year grant to formalize. Paired with OpenAI's recent breakthroughs on prime gaps, the author argues math is in a full-swing Kuhnian revolution driven by frontier AI models.
