We present the first successful large-N computation of the S3 free energy in chiral N=2 Chern-Simons-matter theories, long believed to evade the universal M2-brane scaling FS3 ∼ N3/2. Using a stable numerical continuation method that directly solves the saddle-point equations, we obtain convergent large-N solutions for benchmark chiral quivers, including the holographic dual to AdS4× Q1,1,1/ℤk and D3 models. The resulting free energies precisely match the holographic predictions, resolving a decade-old puzzle in AdS4/CFT3 and establishing a practical computational framework for precision holography in strongly coupled gauge theories.
