Anthropic’s biolab made a discovery it’s comparing to Crispr
The Verge Robert Hart ● Covered by 2 sources
Anthropic’s wet lab, using Claude, says it autonomously discovered an enzyme system with similarities to Crispr-related gene-editing machinery. Anthropic reports nearly 950 Claude agents processed 210 million tokens over 21 hours before detecting an unusual repeating pattern. Anthropic presents this as the first wet-lab result and an early validation of Claude’s usefulness for science as it prepares to go public.
Why it matters
Anthropic says its AI Claude has "autonomously discovered" a new enzyme system similar to machinery behind the powerful gene-editing tool Crispr. It's the first result from Anthropic's newly-launched wet lab and an early test of Claude's usefulness for science as the company prepares to go public. The company says Claude found the enzyme system after […]
