AI Cracks Two Unsolved WWII Enigma Messages That Stumped Researchers for Decades

GPT-6 Astra autonomously cracked an 85-year-old German Army Enigma message in just two days, a feat that would take human researchers weeks or months. The AI built its own simulator and decoded a transmission that had remained unsolved since 2005. Claude Opus 5 broke another message, leaving only seven unbroken Enigma codes remaining.
