Researcher says Claude offered a roadmap to prove his long-sought math result
miniapeur · x · 2026-11-10
A researcher shares his experience using Claude on a math problem. Feeding it only the statement produced slop, but after supplying 10 pages of his own research notes, Claude built on his ideas and extended them in directions he wasn't familiar with.
He says Claude offers a plausible roadmap toward proving a conjecture he's long believed true based on strong experimental evidence — while cautioning the proof still needs extensive verification and may not be correct.
