Anthropic uses Claude to formalize Fermat's Last Theorem proof

Anthropic used Claude to help turn the famously complex proof of Fermat's Last Theorem into a computer-verifiable form. The project highlights how advanced AI systems can assist formal mathematics by producing work that proof-checking software can independently validate.

Lightedge argues hybrid cloud placement should follow workload needs

Lightedge is emphasizing workload fit as enterprises spread applications across private cloud, public cloud, and colocation environments. Latency, security, compliance, and data-proximity requirements are making one-size-fits-all placement strategies increasingly impractical.
