Claude Fable 5 AI finds a tiny formula that topples an 87-year-old math conjecture
Claude Fable 5 discovered a simple counterexample disproving the Jacobian conjecture in three dimensions and higher, solving a problem unsolved for over 87 years. The two-dimensional version of the conjecture remains unresolved despite the counterexample's findings.
