Claude uses 950 agents to find an uncharacterized enzyme system

Anthropic says roughly 950 Claude agents used 210 million tokens over 21 hours, gathered more than 200,000 reverse transcriptases, selected 3,500 new candidate systems and narrowed them to 20. Human laboratory work then validated an uncharacterized system, ART, with CRISPR-like repeats. It may relate to cutting, copying or pasting DNA, but its primary function remains unknown and the result is an early company-team preprint.
