Claude just computed a nine-loop scattering amplitude in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills, past the eight-loop record. What that means. Scattering amplitudes predict how particles behave & physicists compute them in layers of correction called loops. Each loop makes the answer more precise & costs exponentially, sometimes factorially, it’s more work. Most real amplitudes have only been taken to two or three loops. The most precise prediction in particle physics, the electron's anomalous magnetic moment, used five. The challenge came from physicist Matt von Hippel, who publicly asked whether an AI could push past eight loops using only compute an academic could afford. Given one prompt & periodic instructions to continue, Claude ran largely unsupervised for days & did it, using bootstrap methods that Lance Dixon & collaborators developed. Total cost: a few thousand dollars. Dixon, who held the prior record, checked the result independently. Three caveats that matter more than the headline: 1. N=4 super-Yang-Mills is a toy model which is a testing ground for techniques, not a theory describing our universe. No new real-world particle prediction came out of this. 2. Claude applied existing human methods rather than inventing new ones. 3. A human-led group at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, using GPT-6 for parts of it, had concurrently obtained most of the same result & published a dataset on September 17. So the honest version isn't that a machine beats humans. It's that a hard calculation at the edge of a field now costs only a few thousand dollars & takes several days, by more than one route at once.

⚡️ NEW: Cryptocom says its AI agent platform is still in "stealth mode," nearly eight months after a $15 million Super Bowl ad drew so much traffic that it crashed the website.

Been hooked on Octopath Traveler for days on my Switch. Gorgeous retro pixel graphics plus amazing background music. Each of the eight protagonists has a unique story, old-school turn-based fighting is super addictive.

NVIDIA is releasing an open speech model that can transcribe a meeting, label who said what, translate it and answer questions about the recording: Nemotron 3.5 Transcribe supports: - Transcription in 40 languages - Translation between English and 31 languages - Up to eight speakers, with speaker labels in 13 languages - Recordings up to an hour long You can give it names and technical terms to guide the transcript, or ask questions about the audio. Audio Q&A is trained in English. It has roughly 30B parameters, with about 4B active per token, and can run on your own NVIDIA GPU. According to NVIDIA's launch materials, it ranks first among open-weight models on Hugging Face's English Open ASR leaderboard and leads VoiceArena's 14-system test of transcription with speaker attribution. Built for recorded audio. Live streaming uses a separate model. Super cool to see! Model: Demo: Blog:

At a family restaurant in Ohio, the waitress asked if I wanted soup or salad. I heard super salad. I did not know what made it super. But a man does not refuse the strongest option on the table. The super one, I said. Linda wrote it down without blinking and yelled toward the window. ONE SUPER SALAD! The cook leaned out. HOW SUPER, LINDA? HE DIDN'T SAY. GO ALL THE WAY. It came in a steel mixing bowl. Croutons like boulders. Two eggs. A whole breadstick planted in the middle like a flag. It should have cost eight dollars more than the soup. Linda charged me for the soup. There is a new line on the specials board now. SUPER SALAD. ASK LINDA.

My coworker Yoshida is the safety manager at our company. He is the most careful man in Japan. He wears a helmet to ride his bicycle to the train station. He checks the gas stove three times before bed. In eighteen years, he has filed 2,400 incident reports. In October, the company sent him to Montana for two weeks. He was required to send headquarters an incident report every night. Those reports have been passed around our office ever since. Our president keeps a printed copy in his desk. I asked Yoshida if I could share them. He said yes. "For safety." INCIDENT REPORT #1# Location: A field. Event: My host, Buck (61), allowed his 9-year-old son to drive a pickup truck. Risk level: Extreme. Action taken: None. The boy drove better than I do. INCIDENT REPORT #3# Location: A shooting range. Event: A grandmother explained the safety rules to me for 40 minutes before I was allowed to touch anything. When someone called "Cease fire," every person on the line stopped instantly. Nobody argued. Nobody was in a hurry. Risk level: I expected the highest of my trip. It was the lowest. Action taken: I would like to hire the grandmother. INCIDENT REPORT #4# Location: Buck's backyard. Event: Buck woke up at 4 a.m. to start a fire. He did not leave it for twelve hours. When I offered to help, he looked at me like I had asked to hold his newborn. At 5 p.m., 31 people arrived. Nobody had been invited. Everyone brought food. Risk level: None. Note: In Japan, people invite people. In Montana, the smoke invites people. INCIDENT REPORT #6# Location: Main Street. Friday, 6:45 p.m. Event: Every store in town closed. The signs on the doors said: "GONE TO THE GAME." Risk level: If someone needs help, there is nobody left in town. Correction: Everybody in town is at the game. During the anthem, the old man next to me stood up out of his wheelchair. His grandson held his arm until it was over. I have never seen a safer place. INCIDENT REPORT #8# Location: A rodeo. Event: Children ages five to seven rode live sheep for as long as they could hold on. This is called "mutton busting." A small boy fell off, landed on his face, stood up, and raised both arms in the air. The crowd screamed like he had won the Super Bowl. Risk level: I had to sit down. Note: In Japan, we would call an ambulance. In Montana, they called him a champion. INCIDENT REPORT #9# Location: The side of a highway. Event: Flat tire. Three trucks stopped in six minutes. Nobody called them. The third man finished the job and refused money. He said, "Pass it on." Risk level: None. Note: In Montana, roadside assistance is anyone with a truck. The last report is different. Yoshida didn't want me to share it. Then he changed his mind. When Yoshida was nine, his father died in an accident at work. A safety rope that nobody had checked. He has spent his whole life checking everything, for everybody. INCIDENT REPORT #12# Location: Buck's porch. Night. Event: Buck asked why I am so careful. I told him about my father. I have never told anyone at work. Buck didn't say anything for a long time. Then he said: "Keeping folks safe is a good thing, son. Your daddy would be proud of you. But safe ain't the same as alive." Action taken: In the morning, Buck handed me the keys to the truck. INCIDENT REPORT #13# Location: The same field. Event: I drove across the field at 15 miles per hour. I screamed the whole time. Buck laughed until he cried. His son timed me. He said it was the slowest lap in the history of Montana. Risk level: Low. Personal note: This is the first incident report I have ever written where I was glad something happened. He's home now. He still wears the helmet. He still checks the stove three times. But last Sunday, for the first time in his life, he took his son to the ocean with no plan at all. He sent Buck a photo. Buck wrote back four words. "That's living, partner." America, you think that's just a Saturday. The truck in the field. The smoke in the yard. The whole town gone to the game. The kid who falls off the sheep and raises his arms. A man who spent his whole life being careful flew 5,000 miles to see what it looks like to be alive. It looks like you.
