# Claude moves bound from Riemann Hypothesis from 41.6% to 67.2% > Source: > Published: 2026-08-10 18:04:17+00:00 8 days ago, while jogging, I asked Claude to solve the Riemann Hypothesis It didn’t. 1.5 days later, it proved >= 67% of the zeros are on the line (prev: 41.6%) Still not sure what that means, but some analytic number theorists seem excited - I’d tried once before in a single session and it went nowhere. Eight days ago, when I tried again, this was the opening message:The heavy lifting was recent human work - Baluyot, Goldston, Suriajaya & Turnage-Butterbaugh, plus a Bombieri paper from 2000. Claude’s contribution was seeing they fit together. Goldston himself looked over the paper. Proof is formalized in Lean.I’m very much not a mathematician. I dropped out of high school at 16. I took about half of sophomore year geometry before dropping out. I didn’t contribute any math to the paper. I mostly just told Claude variations of “keep going” and “believe in yourself”If you paste the text below Sonnet 5 refuses to believe it but can’t say why Haiku 4.5 admits it doesn’t know Opus 5 times out after thinking for 17 minutes — THEOREM (unconditional). At least 2/3 of the nontrivial zeros of ζ with T
