Anthropic physicists used Claude to compute a nine-loop amplitude in N=4 super-Yang-Mills, a test-bed theory for particle physics calculations. That goes one step past the previous eight-loop result, was done largely autonomously, and the main calculation used about $100 of compute. Stanford and SLAC's Lance Dixon checked it, and a Chinese Academy of Sciences team independently reproduced most of it.
