Anthropic uses Claude Fable 5.2 to enable 1000 agents to safely collaborate on proving Fermat's Last Theorem
Anthropic announces a toy experiment: 1000 agents running early versions of Claude Fable 5.2 in a network sandbox, organizing and dividing tasks solely with Git and a shared Postgres database, completing the formal proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in 28.7 hours, outputting tokens one-third of the September version and proof length one-seventh.
Why it matters: The original complete record shows 1000 agents building collaboration mechanisms and proving Fermat's Last Theorem in a network sandbox, observable how multi-agent scalable collaboration and safety boundaries are designed simultaneously.
