Anthropic study of 207,000 sessions shows Claude mostly used for data analysis, not idea generation

Anthropic analyzed 207,000 Claude and Claude Code research sessions using privacy-preserving methods to map how scientists use the AI across fields and tasks. It found heavier relative use in formal sciences like computer science, mathematics and statistics, and lighter use in health and lab-based physical sciences, with data analysis and writing dominating usage—accounting for roughly a third of Claude sessions and nearly half of Claude Code sessions.

OpenAI publishes new AI-generated results in math, computer science and physics

OpenAI has released two new manuscripts, one proving Sogge's local smoothing conjecture for waves across all spatial dimensions, and another presenting a proof that the Exponential Time Hypothesis is false. The company also worked with external expert groups to validate and explain computer science and physics findings, including a proof involving interacting quantum field theories with gauge fields and fermions in four dimensions, though the physics writeup has not yet been published.
