Anthropic posted on September 23 that Claude agents found a new enzyme system hiding in phage DNA. The numbers in the post: roughly 950 agents, 21 hours, 210 million tokens, one giant database of DNA sequences. One agent noticed a repeating pattern next to a gene that looked odd. Humans did the lab work, named the system ART, and released a pre-print.
