Anthropic’s biolab made a discovery it’s comparing to Crispr
Anthropic reports that Claude autonomously discovered a novel enzyme system resembling Crispr machinery by scanning 210 million DNA tokens across 950 agents in 21 hours, the first result from its new wet lab.
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 searching through a massive database of DNA sequences, adding that its scientists' involvement was limited to the initial prompt and lab work.
Over 21 hours, Anthropic said nearly 950 Claude agents worked through 210 million tokens before one spotted an unusual repeating pattern in the datas … Read the full story at The Verge.
