> demonstrates the first-ever algorithm to achieve verifiable quantum advantage on hardware.

Am I crazy or have I heard this same announcement from Google and others like 5 times at this point?

I'd classify this one as different as it accompanies a publication in Nature - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09526-6

How is an accompanying publication in nature worth anything in this context?

I think it was in Nature last time as well…

It's unlikely that it would be accepted for publication in a top peer-reviewed journal if there wasn't something novel.
