Anthropic's research blog reports that Claude Fable 5.1 completed a frontier nine-loop particle-physics calculation that domain experts had worked toward for years. Researchers mostly just told the model to "keep going" while it built, debugged, and ran the entire workflow itself — a landmark demonstration of autonomous long-horizon scientific computation by a frontier model.
