       | Hmm, it seems Claude Research is only available for the Max plan:

       | Enterprise plans in the United States, Japan, and Brazil. Simply
       | toggle on the Research setting in chat.

       | I've tried simple things such as 'explain general number field
       | sieve giving simple numerical examples' and had spectacular
       | failures. The numerical examples give a few superficial runs of
       | the sieve with a small number and then 'well that didn't work but
       | imagine if it did...'. As in it can't give functional numerical
       | examples of well established theory. You can come up with
       | examples yourself in 5mins of work. I can't imagine it being at
       | all useful in an even more advanced context.

         | seem to grasp integers. Doing conversions are typically a flop
         | as well. My doubt really comes from how abstract mathematics
         | really is. It's entirely its own kind of terse language and
         | symbolism. Maybe if there was the kind of focus on it like
         | coding there would be better results?
