Anthropic’s AI agents identify novel enzyme system in 21-hour search

Anthropic announced that its AI model Claude autonomously discovered a new enzyme system in bacteriophages, a finding the company compares to the development of CRISPR. The discovery, made by nearly 950 AI agents over 21 hours, is the first result from Anthropic’s new wet lab and aims to demonstrate the model’s scientific utility ahead of its public listing.
