An Anthropic Researcher Says Claude Fable 5 Produced a Counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture
The claimed counterexample is a concrete polynomial map anyone can check, but the result has not been peer-reviewed.

Anthropic researcher Levent Alpoge says he used Claude Fable 5 to construct a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture, a question in algebraic geometry that Ott-Heinrich Keller posed in 1939, according to ForkLog and GIGAZINE. The conject…
