An Anthropic AI solved a problem considered a “holy grail” of percolation theory—the math of how water passes through a porous solid, like coffee grounds. The landmark proof came just days after a Fields medalist predicted it.

AI has racked up a new math breakthrough, solving a problem of probability theory that one mathematician said would earn a human a Field Medal.
Just days after a Fields Medalist predicted that an AI would solve the puzzle, Anthropic succeeded
