Anthropic says its biology lab has already found something big

Anthropic recently confirmed the operation of a wet biology lab in the Bay Area, utilizing its AI models for physical experiments. This lab, established just this spring, has already made a significant discovery: a new enzyme system with properties reminiscent of CRISPR. The AI, Claude, achieved this breakthrough in only 21 hours of concerted effort, searching through data using approximately 950 agents and processing 210 million tokens.
