Astra and Opus just passed Turing's other test
Frontier AI models are finishing Alan Turing's World War II codebreaking work.
TL;DR
- AI models have decoded two previously unsolved Enigma messages from World War II.
- OpenAI's Astra and Anthropic's Claude Opus models were used in the decoding process.
- The AI models performed complex tasks including archival research, creating simulators, and identifying contextual clues.
- These breakthroughs continue the legacy of Alan Turing and his team's work in cracking the Enigma code.
- Only seven Enigma messages and one other difficult message remain unbroken.
