AI use case

Read thousands of famous scientists' handwritten pages with AI to look for results history missed

An open project uses Claude Opus 5.5 to transcribe and deep-read digitized manuscripts by mathematicians such as Gauss and Riemann, about 12,000 pages so far at roughly $0.25 a page. Every candidate find goes through human reading, code checks and a literature search, and one lead on Riemann's shock-wave sheets is waiting for a palaeographer.
