Claude Just Beat the Human Record in Frontier Physics. One Week. Under $2,000. Validated by the Physicist Whose Record It Beat.

Anthropic's Claude computed the nine-loop Yang-Mills scattering amplitude — one loop past Lance Dixon's 2023 human record — in a week on 96 CPUs for under $2,000. Dixon himself validated the result. We also cover OpenAI's disclosure of 24 government site breaches with all frontier training paused, and the DC Circuit upholding the Pentagon's Anthropic ban 2-1 four days before the contractor deadline.
