Claude Did 3 Months of Cross-Field Science: 36 Manuscripts, 15 Never-Computed Feynman Integrals
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-10-02
Anthropic published a guest post by Harvard Prof. Matthew Schwartz describing how Claude plus his BootLoops toolkit accelerated research across 18 scientific fields: in 3 months, 400 candidate problems yielded 36 manuscripts with 19 coauthors. Highlights: reproducing weeks of physics coding in 20 minutes, completing 30 hard Feynman integrals (15 never computed before), solving a 20-year-old scalable-computation problem in ecology, analyzing 5.7 billion nearby mutation pairs in population genetics, checking replication packages from 4,452 economics papers (30,000 routines), and building a word-stress database spanning 6,072 languages.
