Anthropic says Claude found its core algorithm autonomously with 14M output tokens
sytelus · x · 2026-10-27
A quote from an Anthropic paper reveals the core algorithm was found on October 16 by an internal Claude research model using 14M output tokens with no human input; researchers then worked with Claude to polish the presentation.
The thread debates research priority: sytelus argues "if you don't publish you can't complain about priority," while another speculates Anthropic delayed release to avoid the backlash OpenAI drew with its last model dumps.
