anthropic has also made breakthroughs in mathematics: the jacobian conjecture and the complex structure on s6 but they seem less interested than openai in throwing huge amounts of compute at problems until something gives still scaling compute keeps proving fruitful

SITUATION DETECTED: Levent Alpöge at Anthropic (collaborating with Claude) has solved a classical open problem in complex geometry that has remained unsolved since 1948: whether the 6-sphere admits a complex structure.
