AI finds bafflingly complex but beautiful symmetrical Venn diagram

Software developer Chris Dzoba set up a message board where Anthropic's Claude Fable and OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra could collaborate on finding a rotationally symmetrical Venn diagram with 17 sets, a mathematical challenge that stumped professionals for over a decade.

Mathematician Stan Wagon called the results spectacular.
