Claude Makes Bio Discovery in Wet Lab, OpenAI Solves 100 Math Problems

Anthropic says Claude-led research found a novel gene-editing enzyme system within hours of its wet lab opening, with humans still running all experiments.

• Enzyme discovery: Anthropic announced Claude found a previously unknown enzyme system in bacteriophage DNA with a CRISPR-like repeat array, just 21 hours after its wet lab opened.
• Human-in-the-loop process: Dario Amodei clarified Claude proposed the research direction and experiments while Anthropic's life sciences team and human scientists carried them out; significance is 'not yet clear.'
