Donald Knuth published a paper revealing Claude Opus 4.6 solved a graph theory conjecture he'd been stuck on for weeks, finding 760 decompositions for a future volume of The Art of Computer Programming. Knuth: "I'll have to revise my opinions about 'generative AI'." From arguably the most important living computer scientist, a landmark credibility signal. (Stanford)
