some of you may remember that i vagueposted recently about some crazy legal BS that ensued after a family member died. we thought it was all over, but the whole affair just got turned upside down b/c of a new development. i can't help but laugh at this point, it's so absurd

Claude’s Cycles

Don Knuth, Stanford Computer Science Department

(28 February 2026; revised 02 March 2026)

Shock! Shock! I learned yesterday that an open problem I’d been working on for several weeks had just been solved by Claude Opus 4.6 β€” Anthropic’s hybrid reasoning model that had been released three weeks earlier! It seems that I’ll have to revise my opinions about β€œgenerative AI” one of these days. What a joy it is to learn not only that my conjecture has a nice solution but also to celebrate this dramatic advance in automatic deduction and creative problem solving. I’ll try to tell the story briefly in this note.
