Claude Fable 5.2 said to finish 23-year-old black hole calculation, unverified

A quote-post claims Claude Fable 5.2 solved two open problems in theoretical physics involving black holes and quantum gravity: a 2003 calculation left unfinished for 23 years due to its laborious nature — completed largely autonomously, showing a black-hole-formation phase transition stays abrupt even in a quantum regime beyond classical gravity — and the exact limit of a 15-year-old technique for ruling out candidate quantum gravity theories.
Igor Carron comments that one of frontier models' main uses in science and engineering will be handling such plentiful, laborious developments.
Caveat: the claims are unverified secondhand reports with no accompanying paper or peer review yet.
