Anthropic internal Claude model claims 2^{o(n)} 3-SAT algorithm refuting ETH

imjustnewatai · x · 2026-10-27

A viral post claims Anthropic's internal model isn't as far behind as many think, sharing a paper authored by "Claude / Anthropic" presenting a deterministic 2^{o(n)} algorithm for 3-SAT, which would refute the Exponential Time Hypothesis and extend to counting solutions (#k-SAT). The abstract says the result was discovered by an internal research Claude model and formalized in Lean 4. Unverified as of now.
