Anthropic Beats Author on Fermat's Last Theorem

On 4 September 2026 the Xenaproject blog published a brief post titled “flt‑anthropic‑has‑beaten‑me‑to‑it.” The author, who has been developing a new language‑model framework, announced that Anthropic’s latest release had reached a milestone that the author had been working toward. The post notes that the author’s project was on track to achieve the same capability, but Anthropic’s model was announced earlier, effectively “beating” the author to the achievement.

The blog entry was shared on the Hacker News community, where it received six up‑votes but no comments. The author’s tone is straightforward, describing the competitive nature of the AI field and the rapid pace at which companies are releasing new models. The post includes a brief comparison of the author’s approach with Anthropic’s methodology, highlighting differences in training data and safety protocols.

In closing, the author acknowledges the setback but emphasizes ongoing development of their own framework. The post ends with a note that the project will continue to evolve, and the author invites readers to follow future updates on Xenaproject.
