Ten Claude agents produce 17,895-line proof of 1904 physics problem
Original: Ten Claude agents wrote a 17,895-line proof for a 1904 physics problem
Ten AI agents running Anthropic's Claude model have jointly produced a 17,895-line proof addressing a physics problem first posed in 1904. The feat highlights how multi-agent AI systems can now tackle long-standing scientific and mathematical work, collaborating by dividing the reasoning across parallel agents. Commenters are weighing what this means for the future of research, both as a demonstration of AI's growing capability and as a warning about verifying machine-generated proofs of such length.
Why now: People are struck by AI agents autonomously completing a century-old scientific proof at unprecedented scale.
