Claude Fable 5.2 independently completed a tedious black hole formation calculation that physicists had left unfinished since 2003, finding that black holes form suddenly in tiny universes just as Hawking and Page showed for large ones in 1983. A physicist has verified the work, marking a case where an AI produced checkable new knowledge in fundamental physics rather than merely summarizing existing text.

Claude Fable 5.2 Completes 23-Year-Old Black Hole Calculation
- Claude Fable 5.2 finished a 2003-era calculation for black hole formation in tiny universes that no one had completed due to its length
- The result matches Hawking and Page's 1983 phase-transition-like finding for large universes
- A physicist verified the work, making it checkable new knowledge in fundamental physics produced by an AI
