Claude Unattended Computes Nine-Loop Scattering Amplitude for N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory, Breaking Human Eight-Loop Record
Anthropic's Claude computed the nine-loop scattering amplitude for the planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, breaking the human eight-loop record. It ran unattended for days with a single prompt costing a few thousand dollars, producing a result with 30 billion terms in one section. Physicist Lance Dixon verified the result, while a Chinese team also reached nine loops using GPT-6 assistance.
- for who
- Theoretical physicists and AI researchers
- why now
- Claude broke physics' nine-loop record on September 1st, just as Fable 5.1 launched.
- what changes
- Physicists now have proof that AI can autonomously solve their hardest calculation problems without human step-by-step guidance.
- to do
- Use Claude with a single prompt and let it run unattended for days to solve high-loop scattering amplitude problems.
key points
- Claude computed nine-loop amplitude for planar N=4 SYM, breaking eight-loop human record
- One prompt, few thousand dollars, 30 billion terms, verified by Lance Dixon
- Chinese team also reached nine loops with GPT-6 assistance, published earlier on Zenodo

score
score 8 out of 10. 0-10: how dense the facts are, multiplied by how much you can do with them after reading. 8+ means the topic's evidence bar is met: benchmarks and availability for a new model, amount and investors for a funding round, revenue figures for a solo-money story. Below 5 an item does not enter the digest. A press release scores 3 or less, a reprint loses 2, anything older than 14 days loses 1, a headline that misleads loses 3.
