Edward Witten published a new hep-lat paper on lattice definitions of gauge theories with chiral fermions, and its acknowledgements explicitly state that "assistance on many details was provided by Claude Opus 5.5."
Screenshots also show the text crediting Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 with suggesting a variant that smoothly interpolates link holonomies to lattice variables — a landmark moment for AI-assisted theoretical physics.
